"content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the chance to also contribute on this very important Motion. I rise to support this Motion. I thank Hon. Salasya for bringing it. The indulgence of this Motion about the traders who brand and rebrand sugar in their supermarkets is real. When you buy sugar, sometimes you get a label written Naivas or Khetias Supermarket. These supermarkets do not have any sugar mills, and if you check the dates of manufacture and expiry, they are not there. So, we are buying sugar without knowing where it is coming from. I suspect that the sugar that was banned by this House, which had been imported illegally and had mercury, came from those supermarkets that are labelling sugar without permits. That is why we need to scrutinise and ban supermarkets that are not authorised to label sugar from labelling it. For us human beings, we have been buying sugar from sugar companies to safeguard ourselves. If I buy sugar written Sony Sugar Company or Awendo, I am sure of it because I know it is coming from a known sugar company. Allowing supermarkets to label sugar without authority from anywhere is dangerous to human beings because we do not know where it comes from. As a House, we need to stop supermarkets from labelling sugar without any authority. With those few remarks, I support this Motion."
