    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I quickly want to support the Motion because of time. What is affecting us Kenyans is that everybody is involved from the point of entry where that illegal sugar is brought in. So, when we want to solve it, we should start asking: Who at the point of entry is among the cartels? We see a lot of sugar with our local sugar companies' labels filling supermarket shelves, but the real industries have died. So, how can sugar companies like Mumias not be running, but their sugar is still on sale or is available? So, the people from the port of entry to the cartels and the bigwigs in this country are still selling the sugar. Just two months ago, a red flag was raised because there was poisonous sugar that was not supposed to be supplied in Kenya. However, it was reported that the sugar disappeared. That means the people who are killing the sugar industries are the real locals - Kenyans who have mastered a way of making money, even if it means killing other Kenyans for them to make profits. Then, there is corruption and mismanagement of those institutions. Some people are politically employed in our sugar companies. They are appointed CEOs in those companies, but they are told what they should do there. So, even if they had the heart to make the institution progress and make the locals gain from it, their hands are tied because they were appointed to ensure someone's interest is looked into. Recently, when we were passing a Bill here, I saw one of our Members with a sheet of paper with one side written \"no\" and the other written \"yes\", as we kept on discussing the Bill. He was controlling people from the Kenya Kwanza side. The farmers are the stakeholders."
