    "content": "We want a free market but even free markets must have management. That is what is lacking in this regard. It is not a light matter that the people of western region depend on sugarcane. In due course, people will diversify and go to other areas and they will no longer be a laughing stock of this country. It is very important that in the meantime to realise that, without managing the transition you are going to affect the lives of many people. Those who do not grow sugarcane can point to the fact that sugarcane farmers have not become richer; they are getting poorer. Managing that transition is important and the Government has a role to play in the management of that transition. One of the things to do is to clamp down on mismanagement within companies. They should do the best they can with the resources they have. If we let that to go, it is a recipe for long-term disaster particularly in western Kenya where we have millions of people who depend on this crop. With those few remarks, I beg to support the Report."
