"content": "matter that we should all take an interest in. I have heard some of the submissions that have been made before the Committee. As the Chairman himself confirmed, the CMA appeared before that Committee. From the perspective of CMA, there was no wrong doing during the transfer of those shares. It is also not something to be overlooked my brother, Senate Majority Leader. In fact, this institution continues to provide Kenyans with a lot of employment opportunities. There are farmers in western region who are growing sorghum and barley and thus earn a living from EABL. We should find ways of resolving issues that arise, when companies such as this that are major employers in the country and contribute to the economic development of this country, in a way that does not scare investors or vilify companies that are just trying to do business. Madam Temporary Speaker, as a regular consumer of the products of EABL, one of the problems that this country faces is high taxation. In fact, if you speak to the management of EABL, they will tell you that just these last few months, the sales have gone down because many people can no longer afford these products."
