I think either our Departmental Committee on Trade, Industry and Co-operatives or the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock or both or other people are asleep. It is fair that they try to find out this policy where year-in, year- out, for close to 20 years, this country keeps seeking extension for the COMESA exemption to bring in duty free over 200,000 metric tonnes of sugar. Some of you have written to me. Some other citizens have also written to me. There is a new practice by the Ministry of Trade and the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) to go and limit the quotas from those COMESA countries. You would find countries like Eswatini being allocated some quotas and then you are told you can bring 70,000 metric tonnes of sugar from Eswatini, 60,000 metric tonnes from Burundi and only 10,000 The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
