    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Kenya Sugar Board through sugar-cane pricing Committee is using simplified cane pricing formula to pay sugar-cane farmers as follows: That is net price, that is “x” factory minus VAT minus sugar-cane development levy times 50 per cent times 50 over tonnage of cane versus tonnage of sugar. The farmers share ratio adopted at 50 per cent, tonnage cane and tonnage sugar was set at ten, being the industry average. (b) Mumias Sugar Company is among the sugar millers with high percentage of compliance with this formula. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have held four meetings with the Sugar Pricing Committee and we have agreed. They are signing an agreement next week to confirm that they will stick to the formula. Any miller who will not pay the farmers according to the formula will be punished."
