    "content": "Yes, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. That is true to the best of intentions. However, if you ask Sen. Omondi and I, who come from the sugar industry, we can confirm to you that with the best of intentions, the miller sends his tractors to collect cane, and it is harvested with the best of intentions. However, when it reaches the weigh bridge, the tonnage that is then announced, the poor farmer who in some instances might be illiterate, is completely shortchanged. Do not forget that some of these farmers might not be as highly educated. Therefore, when he is given his receipt, he may not know that inside it, his produce has been graded poorly. It is only when he wants to exchange it as Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. said as collateral in the bank to get money, he is told you your receipt shows you delivered 100 tonnes of maize, but unfortunately, we cannot give you the amount of money that you want because according to the credit in the receipt, it is third grade.” Then, the farmer will find that he cannot get a loan of Kshs2million, as soon as possible using it where he expected that amount based on the tonnage that is in the store. This is because they are being told: “No, you can only get Kshs500,000 because your grade is low.” The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
