Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is correct. That is why we have those levy funds. The funds are given to the factories to make sure that all the roads are motorable and in good condition. If it is true that the roads in Mumias are not in good condition, I will follow that up with the Kenya Sugar Board to find out why they are not in good condition.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have percentages of what is given to each factory. For example, factory development and rehabilitation gets 17 per cent from Kenya Sugar Board. Research and Extension services gets 23 per cent. I think that is what the hon. Member is talking about. He is asking about the development of the sugar-cane industry in this country. The emphasis of Kenya Sugar Board is on research and extension services.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when hon. Wamalwa said that the roads are not in good shape, I promised to go back and talk to the Kenya Sugar Board and make sure that we get proper accounting on what has been done, how much money has been used and why the roads are impassable.
