    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to reiterate a fundamental point; that the cost of production of sugar in this country remains stubbornly, persistently and inexorably high. The Mover must have already shared this statistic that comparing Kenya to Uganda, our next door neighbour, the cost of producing sugar here is almost twice as high. The cost of transportation and harvesting account for almost 45 per cent of the cost of production. Among the worst mistakes we made that has only made this problem worse was the VAT Act of 2013 that obligated sugarcane farmers to pay VAT through the transporters."
