    "content": "currently working on legislation from the National Assembly that seeks to improve sugarcane farming and the sugar industry. Even with all the progress registered, there is still much to do, particularly with regard to the importation of sugar that ultimately impacts negatively on the sugar industry. Therefore, I urge the Presidency and the National Treasury to develop a friendly sugar importation policy that could include an opportunity for sugar out-grower companies to be sharing in the benefit of importation of sugar when there is a deficit. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the matter of road infrastructure, I am pleased that the President has lived up to his manifesto which committed to improve road infrastructure. In Kakamega County, this is evidenced by the ongoing upgrading to bitumen standard of the Ikoli-Kimang’eti-Malava-Samitsi-Navokholo-Chebuyusi Road and the Turbo- Seregea-Soy Road. The Government plans to also complete the Lurambi-Shikoti- Ingotse–Nambacha-Dorofu-Musikoma Road C41, that was advertised on Monday last week. I plead with the people of Kakamega County to appreciate that the Government cannot fix all our roads in one financial year. Therefore, I urge them to be contented with the completion of the above roads in the meantime, before embarking on the other deserving roads. I thank the Governor of Kakamega County--- Sorry! I beg your pardon. I thank the former Governor of Kakamega County H.E. Hon. Wycliffe Ambetsa Oparanya."
