    "content": "his constituents are looking upon him. The Budget we have just allocated here is inclusive of that of sugar-cane farmers. I am sure he also wants sugar-cane farmers in his constituency to be paid, yet he was not here when we approved that they should be paid within 14 days. He has gone to the streets. Was he elected to go to the streets or was he elected to come to Parliament? I want to ask them with a lot of humility that they should always be here so that when we are passing laws that touch directly on their constituents, those who elected them--- They should be here so that we can reason together because for me, I want that payment for sugar-cane farmers to be cash on delivery. I am a pastoralist and when I sell my cow, I am paid cash on delivery. We sell potatoes and wheat and we are paid cash on delivery. I do not know why wheat farmers have to wait for one or two years. I do not even know why they should actually wait for 14 days. If they were here, they would have amended that they be paid cash on delivery. Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker for the time you have given me. I appreciate and request our colleagues from NASA to always be present in this House because they were elected not to come to Nairobi to picket and look after cows or camels, but to come to Parliament, amend and make laws. Thank you very much Hon. Speaker."
