    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I support this Report for the simple reason that it is high time we rescued the sugar sector. Our farmers have faced this problem for too long. Hon. Justice Kemei said that sugarcane is one of the most lucrative crops in the world. I agree with him. Why is it only in Kenya where sugarcane growing has become a loss-making venture year in, year out? We know of countries, including our neighbours like Sudan and Uganda, where sugarcane farming has remained as lucrative as you want to take it. This is a good move, even though some grey areas need to be ironed out. One of them is the matter of Mumias Sugar Factory. My colleagues from Western Kenya agree with me that unless and until you address the matter of Mumias Sugar Company, which previously accounted for about 60 per cent of sugar produced in the country, you will not have done justice The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
