"content": "As we speak now, sugar is one of the most sought after commodities in this country. Kenya, for the information of Members, is the largest sugar market in the East African region. We consume almost one million metric tonnes of sugar. Farmers in the western Kenya region are supposed to produce 500,000 metric tonnes. But if you check what the barons are doing... The western region, in terms of sugar-cane, supports about 14,000,000 Kenyans, both directly and indirectly. Those Kenyans are now staring at poverty. Hon. Kenta and the Committee on Implementation have just said it loud and clear. That, one, the barons have their say and they laugh all the way to the banks. They are able to import. They have enough money and, hence, they will buy their way and they will still bring the sugar to the Kenyan market."
