    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to make my comments regarding the petition by the Governor of Kisii County, His Excellency James Ongwae. From the onset, I congratulate the Governor for coming up with such an excellent idea of putting up a sugar cane factory in South Mugirango. The essence of devolution was to take services closer to the people. By putting up the sugar factory in South Mugirango, it will be a big catchment area for our farmers. The intended sugar factory will serve close to 50,000 farmers from the whole of the former Gucha District. It has a catchment of South Mugirango, Bobasi and Bomachoge constituencies. The nearest factories have been Trans Mara and SONY Sugar companies. Many times, you find that the farmers in south Mugirango are not able to deliver their cane to those two factories because of the distance. You will find that sometimes these two factories want to, first f all, serve their catchment areas. Therefore, I want to laud the Governor for bringing the services closer to the people. If our people in South Mugirango have the factory, they will have their cane harvested in time and processed to produce sugar. That also means that we will have sufficient sugar for the people of Kisii County. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to note that the various necessary licenses and consents have already been received. The county assembly has already given its approval and a license has already been given---"
