Motion text

THAT, aware that commercial sugarcane production in Kenya was introduced in the early years of Independence with an aim of eliminating dependence on sugar importation and contributing to economic transformation in the sugar belt and the country at large through agriculture; ... now therefore, this House resolves that the national Government, through the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development, reviews the sugar development policies to provide that every investor-miller sets aside definite funds for development of sugarcane farming, incentivising farmers to embrace sugarcane growing and to enhance cane production in each of the respective zones.
