"content": "There are some regions, as had been earlier stated, that depend on sugar. There are farmers who grow that cane. There is also need for food security in this country. Other than sugar being consumed in its raw form, there are also by-products that are used for manufacturing and other uses. All those are important for the running of this economy. If this Bill is passed by the Senate, it will not only enhance the food security of those sectors, but also save us a lot of import costs. Truth be told, we import a lot of sugar into this country, while if there was a sector that was focused on the sugar industry, it would have taken care of the sugar needs in this country not only for domestic but industrial use. The Jubilee Government manifesto has the manufacturing and food security part. This Bill addresses the two in one Bill. Its importance cannot be over-emphasized. I beg to move and request Sen. Kasanga to second. I thank you."
