"content": "In Western Province where I come from and especially in Kakamega County, we have seen some companies that are private now. We have seen West Kenya Sugar Company which is paying farmers in two weeks. We have also seen Butali Sugar Mills Limited into which a private entity pumped in Kshs.2 billion and are paying farmers in two weeks’ time. That is very good. All we need to do as a House is to be careful on how much these private companies are going to pay the farmers. This is because once that is done, it can come out as a legislative measure so that we control how much they will be paying the farmers. That way, everybody will be happy and I am sure that even the country will be happy because it will be able to save the foreign exchange reserve which is very critical for us to develop as country. Otherwise, hon. Speaker, I wish to second."
