    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also want to support this Motion by Hon. Salasya on branding of sugar by non- millers. We know the demand for sugar is more than the supply. It is allowed for sugar to be imported, but we should not allow millers to bring in sugar and brand them in a manner that we do not understand. For example, we know that Mumias Sugar Company was shut down, but we found out that Rai brands sugar. We have sugar labelled Mumias while we clearly know that Mumias Sugar is not working at the moment. I want to support this Motion, and also thank the Government through this House for accepting to scrap off about Ksh117 billion debt owed by these companies, so that these sugar companies can also start working and farmers can get their dues because our farmers are running poor and cannot get money in their pockets to take their kids to school. I support Hon. Salasya that regulations should be put in place so that all the companies that import and brand sugar are known. We should know their names and what they do so that we do not have contraband sugar like the one we had last time which is very harmful to our health. For this purpose, I want to support this Motion by my very good friend, Hon. Salasya. As you know, from where we come from, sugar is our gold, our life and our main economic activity. I support Hon. Salasya. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for his chance."
