John Makali","speaker":null,"content":" Hon. Speaker, I am not satisfied with the response by the Cabinet Secretary for three reasons. One, it was a resolution of the National Assembly to write-off those debts, but they were not written off. Every time we go to the villages, we keep being asked why those debts were never written-off. The Cabinet Secretary has not explained the circumstances under which those debts were not written-off. Two, on 14th of this month, this House sat and passed another resolution that those debts were to be written-off. We want to be given an assurance by the Cabinet Secretary that this time round all those debts are going to be written-off and farmers and workers are paid. Three, the Cabinet Secretary has not given a clear-cut response that the current balance sheet of Nzoia Sugar Company after writing-off those debts will have a clear balance sheet.
