    "content": "Association of Manufacturers. I have said publicly that I will take action. Let us work together. This step that we had to take to import edible oil was at zero option after our continued efforts to talk. I have met the Kenya Association of Manufacturers teams and sector leaders not less that 13 times. The President of Kenya has officiated over not less than four events of these manufacturers at my invitation. I have done everything that I need to do. Today, let me add this. Sorry because I skipped this in the question from Sen. Cheruiyot. Further than allowing KNTC to import this 125,000 metric tonnes, I have also taken another step in consultation with the Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury and Economic Planning. For one year, we are suspending import duty for all oils, either processed or crude. I hope that within that one year, we are going to have a better conversation with the people in this sector, to see how we can grow palm oil and sunflower, so that we can be self-sufficient in our food. I have taken all efforts to talk. Unfortunately, since there is not incentive for them to change and with their full stomachs, I had to do what I had to do."
