Mutunga","speaker":null,"content":" Hon. Temporary Chairman, we proposed amendments to Clause 20. They had that language. We made it very sharp. I would like to read Clause 20. Clause 20(1) says that: “A person shall not import or export sugar crop, sugar or sugar byproducts without a valid licence issued by the board in accordance with the regulations made under this Act”. Clause 20(2) reads that: “A holder of a valid import or export license shall not import or export sugar crop, sugar or sugar byproducts unless they have obtained a pre-import or a pre-export approval from the board in accordance with the regulations made under this Act”. Clause 20(3) reads that: “A person who imports sugar into Kenya shall, prior to importation — (a) provide evidence that the sugar they intend to import is not available in the local market; (b) provide a sample of the sugar to be imported and pre-import verification certificate from the country of origin; and (c) obtain pre-import approval from the board”. So, Clause 20(A) is just enhancing Clause 20."}
