    "content": "However, I support this Motion by hon. John Waluke which borders on parastatals. I come from sugar cane zone, and as you know, those firms are privatized. I hope that this Motion will cover all companies irrespective of whether they are parastatals or not so that all farmers irrespective of whether they are in parastatal zones or not can benefit. This is especially on fertilizer. I agree that farmers in Mumias are getting a low deal as far as fertilizers are concerned. That is why production in farms is very poor and as a result farmers do not get any money after harvest. Instead of being paid, they are actually asked to pay DRS by Mumias Sugar Company. It is important that we amend this Motion when it comes to this House as a Bill so that it can cover all farming areas irrespective of whether those companies are small-scale, large-scale, parastatals or private companies. Hon. Deputy Speaker, with those few remarks, I wish to support this Motion."
