I have concluded. I have nothing useful to add because it is on your direction for us to know. When we made the decision at the SBC yesterday, the letter indicated that she appears at 11.00 a.m. The only adjustment she made was for her to come at 12.00 noon. Therefore, I stand guided up to there. I have seen copy of the letter where we had told her to come at 11.00 a.m.

I do not see why there should be a fight about this. I agree with the position by Sen. Osotsi for this simple reason - sometimes, we make laws, which unfortunately, are in contradiction to already established laws. There is already a set out law in the Companies Act on how you become a board member in a company, especially the private owned company.

It is the previous amendment of Clause 19 that closes all farmers in one region without room for exit whatsoever.

If you close those farmers into that region alone, without providing any exception for them and yet, there is clear evidence that even with the presence of those two millers, there is still, an oversupply of cane.

Mr. Chairman, Sir, to marry the situation, where you have regions in the country, where there is an overabundance of factories and farmers have sufficient choice of where to take their cane, and us, who come from areas where we still have unique challenges of not having sufficient factories, it was important that we provide this provision.
