Wafula Wamunyinyi for bringing this Bill - The Sugar Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 68 of 2019). The re-introduction of this Sugar Bill is of great importance to the sugar industry, and especially the sugar growing zones of Western, Nyanza and Coast regions. The sugar industry has really gone down due to cartels that have come up with importing sugar and killing the growing of sugar and factories in those counties. I feel that this Bill has come at the right time when we need to revive our economy. We need to see that the economy of this country grows. Once Mumias, Chemelil, Kibos and Nzoia sugar factories are revived, it will be an opportunity for our children to be employed. Farmers will live a dignified life. Farmers will have to be paid in good time. They will be able to pay school fees for their children. They will be able to cater for their medical bills that are so high at this time of the pandemic, and be able to do most The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
