    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have just remembered one thing about the privatisation of our sugar company. It must be done very carefully. There must be wide consultations. It should not be rushed. In whatever name it is, even if it is coming as leasing or what, it should not be rushed. The communities and the stakeholders must be heard properly. We should not end up selling our assets to people who are not interested in matters of sugar, but in land, property and quick wins like what happened with the Pan Paper Industry. A Company that is worth Kshs10 billion was sold for only Kshs900 million. Whoever bought the property was only keen to buy the land. The Luhya community lost. We are seeing the same being done for Mumias Sugar and Nzoia Sugar Companies. We will reject and do so strongly. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale is our leader in that. He will lead us to reject this privatization, which is earmarked for our sugar companies in the Western Region without involving the people and without looking at the benefits that our people will get. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support."
