    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you can see that that the thing is elastic. It is moving and moving, but I hope that before the end of June, we should really have looked at the recommendations. This is because every day that passes, the farmer continues to suffer. Particularly the sugarcane farmer, is the most unfortunate farmer in Kenya. All the taxes are lumped on him. Spillage from his farm to the weighbridge is also lumped onto him. Delays in payments also go to him. When he gets fertilizer, interest is charged and yet, when he gets paid late, he does not get interest paid on his late payment. This is a very lopsided scenario and the farmer needs to be given incentives to continue to grow cane. I hope that all these things that we have talked about will be captured in the amendments to the Sugar Act, because that is the only avenue that we have."
