"content": "(2) Explain the decision of the Government to import sugar from outside the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) trading bloc, stating whether there is a shortage of sugar within the bloc, and if not, why partner States are unwilling to export the sugar to Kenya. (3) Apprise the Senate of the measures put in place to ensure foolproof identification of the importers and proper regulation of prices to curb overexploitation of citizens. (4) Outline measures put in place to safeguard local sugar millers, particularly from the western region sugar belt, from the effects of the importation and to return them to full productivity, noting that the livelihoods of millions of Kenyans are impacted by the importation and poor performance in the sugar industry."
