    "content": "By now, people managing the sugar industry right from the Cabinet Secretary to the Principal Secretary, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) and the officer who authorised this to happen, should be answering questions. As a country, we must be serious about corruption. As a House, we must support the Government to put measures in place and fight these high and mighty people. We must do that as Parliament. We must do it fearlessly because even our own factories and industries are dying. Most of us are products of sugarcane. We have gone through school because we planted sugarcane. As I speak, because of corruption, most sugar companies are dead. For example, sugar factories that were once vibrant like the Nzoia Sugar Company, which has 24,000 acres of land, and Mumias Sugar Company, which is a giant sugar company, have collapsed. The people who were appointed as managing directors fleeced those companies. As I speak, some of them are rich. Some of them are even in this Government. Some of them are even pretending that they want to be chief administrative secretaries. They want to be employed by President William Ruto. Hon. Ruto, if you want us to also support you, please, eliminate the culprits who fleeced Nzoia Sugar Company, and Mumias Sugar Company and are hanging out with you. With those remarks, I support."
