"content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I also want to take this opportunity to thank Hon. Wamunyinyi for moving this Bill. Sugarcane-growing areas have had problems in terms of transportation of the bulky product and VAT on this product, which make it very difficult for farmers to reap from their sweat. The passage of this Bill will help our farmers who have dedicated most of their pieces of land to sugarcane growing. As has been mentioned earlier, importation of fake sugar from other areas will be something of the past because most of the sugar will be produced locally and it is going to be profitable. Our farmers will gain from the exemption of VAT. I support the Bill. I have heard calls from western Kenya saying that this was a very good move and long overdue. I thank Hon. Wamunyinyi for moving the Bill."
