• 23 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to speak as a Member of Mumias East and my question to the Chairman is this: Why are sugar-cane farmers treated differently? To authorize maize to be imported into this country, that authority only comes when there is no maize? Why is sugar licensed to be imported when there is still a lot of sugar being produced in this country? view

• 23 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I wanted, first of all, to thank the Chair, hon. Langat, for the clarification he has given on the taxes that were initially put on sugarcane. I also want to add that already companies are levying VAT on sugarcane. This is what has contributed to debit income that the farmers have been earning. Could the Chairman go a notch higher and insist that the VAT that has already been deducted, now that he has clarified that it was not supposed to have been levied, be refunded to farmers? view
