    "content": " Okay. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for your indulgence. So, let me go straight to the issues raised by the Committee especially on transfer of assets and the abilities of the defunct Sugar Development Fund. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, our findings are that under the Sugar Development Fund, the money that was lent to most of the factories was not well defined. One of the recommendations that we have made is that the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries should ensure that the handover of assets and liabilities to Commodities Fund from the Agriculture and Food Authority is completed in a lawful manner within three months after adoption of this Report. Also because there were so many loans which were disbursed even after this Commodities Fund came into place, we request that the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) investigates all loans disbursed by the Agriculture and Food Authority after the Commodities Fund was established and whose documentation is available. On loans and advances from exchange transactions totalling Kshs7.7 billion, my Committee recommends that the accounting officer continues pursuing the outstanding loans to ensure funds are recovered and that is self-revolving."
