    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. Like many cash crop industries in Kenya, one of the major issues we have in terms of the undoing are the brokers in between from the farmer to the point where the farmer receives the money. Coming from an area where we have coffee as a cash crop, I believe most of the problems that bedevil any other cash crop industry cuts across all the others. The Motion before us today dealing with the sugar industry is very timely and, as the members from those sides, I support it. We need to relook at the management of the sugar industry very well because most of the time, we find that when we need people to manage, especially the sugar factories, the same members who come from the sugar belt are always up in arms demanding for one of their own to lead the sugar companies. For the efficient management of those companies, we need to recruit and get top notch people to run the factories because I believe that is one of the problems we have in terms of the management of the sugar industry in Kenya. However, as the other members have said, I believe that the people in between, that is, the brokers; take most of the benefits and sweat of the farmers yet they work the least. I believe we can do much more in terms of putting up this registration and passing this Motion so that we can attempt to bring about the efficiency that we need in the sugar industry. With those every few remarks, I beg to support."
