    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will support this Motion and say that the officers from the NHIF go round companies inspecting various accounts and seeing what you are selling, what your input is and if you do not have money, this is what happens and it affects mostly farmers. If I go to the surcharge and what hon. Muchai has just said, it is true that when you do not pay the law catches up with you; you also have to negotiate with the workers whom you have not paid due to the fact that you also have not been paid for the coffee that you sold. I think the best way that the Government and this august House should agree on is to look at the farmers who are affected by this situation. Even this situation affects sugar-cane farmers since sometimes prices of sugar are too low and sugar factories cannot pay their farmers. These factories also have to pay the NHIF fees for their workers, but they fail and so they are also caught in this situation of being surcharged, not because they do not want to pay, but is because of the way the situation is in the sugar industry."
