Malulu go through the issues that are in West Kenya, I was wondering what, as a country, we are doing about the Sugar Taskforce Report. Has the Report been implemented? We keep on spending money to bring out reports that we eventually do not implement. Therefore, as I thank Hon. Malulu, I really pray that the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare will actually do proper fact-finding because there are even other issues about sugar harvesting that Hon. Malulu has not mentioned. However, my biggest question that I want to raise in this House is about the taskforce report that was received by His Excellency the President just the other day. I am sure if this taskforce report is implemented, most of the problems in the sugar sub-sector will be handled better. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."}
