• 19 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: (b) The value of intercepted cane from individual farmers by Mumias Sugar Company due to lack of appropriate documentation from July, 2010 to March, 2011 is Kshs4,049,807.56. view
• 19 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: (c) The proceeds from intercepted cane are paid to contracted farming accounts and the accruing benefits goes to both the farmer and the miller. However, in circumstances where private cane is intercepted due to lack of documentation from the administration, the farmer is given time within which to prove his or her status and if ascertained, the proceeds are paid to the farmer. view
• 19 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. . view
• 19 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I answered the Question. I would like the hon. Member, if he has any cases of cane which has been intercepted and the farmers have not been paid to give me the names and I will deal those cases. view
• 19 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the farmers have contracts with millers and if cane is found within the area of the millers, it is taken and if the farmer is not contracted by the miller, he is expected to prove that the cane is his. view
• 19 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: This is because if you look at the losses, you will find that up to now about Kshs48 million worth of cane has been lost through the stealing of cane. That is why we are saying that, even if it is a private farmer, one has to have documentation to prove that it is his cane, because if we do not do that, the cane-growing area will be invaded by thieves. This is because everybody will claim to be a cane farmer when he or she is not. view
• 19 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am made to understand by the millers that they are the ones who really involve the administration police to patrol and make sure that the cane is not moved from one area to the other. view
• 19 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true there is a Bill waiting to come to this House to authorize the Government to privatize the other companies, so that they can compete effectively with Mumias. Until we do so, Mumias Sugar Company will remain the only one controlling the market. view
• 19 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree with him that if it stays for a long period, it loses weight. However, according to the information I have from the millers, once cane is intercepted, it is followed and cleared. It does not take that long. view
• 19 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not aware that they use goons. However, I will investigate. If they do so, we will stop them immediately and tell them to use the police. view
