    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Statements by both Sen. Wetangula and Sen. Malalah are disturbing because nobody is speaking about the common mwananchi- that person in Isiolo, Lamu or Lungalunga at the border who is consuming sugar innocently. The person who delivered the sugar to Kenya; the importer and the one who put a sticker to approve that the sugar was safe for consumption are known. The cartels from the statements that are being made in the public domain are also known. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am afraid that I do not agree with the statement made, that Parliament should investigate this matter. I believe that Parliament is also accused. How can we know sugar barons and we are threatening to table names instead of just doing that? It is an embarrassment. I personally call upon the President under Cap 102, that this is the time to form a commission of inquiry to interrogate your Government because it is your Government that is responsible. The people who authorised the whole process and the cartels are sitting in Government. This is the only way to get the truth. When we wanted to deal with the Goldenberg Scandal, it was called the house of cards. This sugar is like a house cards for the Jubilee Government because they have made Kenyans consume mercury. In fact, when you think about mercury, I would rather it was dust or mud. If we put mercury in water, it reacts violently. Imagine that in the stomachs of Kenyan children and yet we are threatening to table names. Shame on you leaders! The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
