"content": "Yesterday, I took a lot of my time at the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) Headquarters at Integrity Centre, trying to follow up on the case of my friend, Hon. Wycliffe Oparanya. However, I was blocked from entering their offices. I wanted to see the EACC in the same manner it had gone for Oparanya - at higher speed - for the fellows who have stolen money from the sugar sub-sector and brought it to its knees. They killed the sugar industry in general. As we enact this Bill into law, we must be cautious. I am happy that we are no longer going to have a directorate of the Agriculture and Food Authority managing the sugar industry. How did the architects of the Agriculture and Food Authority Act expect this Authority to effectively manage the sugar industry without a mandate, statutory powers and capacity? The Kenya Sugar Board is being re-created. I hope it will have the mandate and independence to play its rightful role in the management and development of the sugar sector. With those remarks, I support."
