    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I do not come from a sugarcane-growing region, but I thank Hon. Wamunyinyi. Sugar is a necessary evil that we cannot avoid. Those who avoid it in tea will find it in beer. If you do not find it in beer, you will find it in wine in church. It is everywhere. You cannot avoid it. The issue of VAT on transport was very thorny because in most cases, the money might not have been going to the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) or benefiting the farmers. It has been benefitting middlemen. With the removal of VAT on transportation of cane, it will reflect on the price of sugar on the shelves. That is our hope, so that we can all benefit. It is not only the farmers who will benefit, but wananchi as well. I support the Bill."
