    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, looking at the valuations, you realize that land always appreciates but machines always depreciate. These machines are outdated. They do not have any meaningful value as such. When you look at the issue of privatisation, the major interest here is this land. This land was community land where the forefathers who owned this land were forced out of those particular regions to move to other regions. This is part of the historical injustices. It is, indeed, important that we must differentiate when it comes to the value of the machines and the value of the land. Indeed, this good recommendation has been there so we should go for further consultations. In this House, we have a caucus of Members of Parliament from the sugar growing regions under the chairmanship of hon. Opiyo. So, it will be important that those hon. Members of Parliament who represent the sugar growing regions be involved in further consultations so that whatever decisions they come up with, they should own because they are the ones who represent the respective farmers. It is important that this issue is put to a halt until further consultations are done and hon. Members who represent those regions can buy in. When it comes to the issue of community land, it is something which is very critical. It is important that attention must be paid to it. Before any further consultations are done, it will be important to get a valuer to value that land. Land always appreciates The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
