• 24 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, Clause 59 that has been proposed to be deleted talks about representation of growers in a private milling company. I am extremely hesitant to support an amendment that curtails the representation of the key players in the sector - the growers. I would have loved for the Senator who moved the amendment to have given a deeper rationale for this. I am sure, Clause 59 with three sub clauses must have been subjected to rigorous public participation. We then might be accused as a House that allowed private milling companies to operate without considering the voices of ... view

• 24 Apr 2024 in Senate: I am looking at an example of sukari industries, a private miller in Homa Bay County. If there was that hope that the growers will have a representation on their board of directors, I will find it very difficult to go back to the residents of Ndhiwa and tell them that the Senate decided that the private miller and that the Mr. Rais of this world will run their operations unfettered without any representation from the local community. I see this as the entry point of the voice of the local community and players in that private milling company. Mr. ... view

• 24 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, we are probably losing the essence of this Bill. For those who have done systems programming, there is something called entity relationship diagram. We are establishing zones; each zone with growers and millers and restricting activities within those zones. However, for the reasons that have been provided in the proposed Clause 19A, particularly the second reason, the grower is not indebted to any miller or out-grower institution within the sugarcane zone. That grower cannot be compelled to supply cane within that zone. Mr. Chairman, Sir, I hear what Sen. Cheruiyot is saying. It is drafting that could ... view

• 24 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, the Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) of this Bill, which I will keep referring to, is that we establish zones and define millers and growers within those zones. I think to argue against that essence is to argue against the Bill in its entirety. New Clauses 19A and B are providing a window for exemption circumstances. Clause 19B talks of inter-miller agreements, but it assumes that those agreements can only exist within a zone. Mr. Chairman, Sir, I believe that there will be a situation where you will have interzone, inter-miller agreements; millers in different zones. Therefore, I want ... view
