    "content": "Hon. Speaker, those of us who come from the sugar belt… I listened to that Governor speaking and imaging that Bungoma County is the entire sugar belt in the country. He does not know the sugar companies benefitting from that debt waiver. Ninety per cent of them are in Nyanza not Western Kenya. Only two sugar companies namely, Mumias Sugar Company Limited and Nzoia Sugar Company Ltd are in Western Kenya. The bulk of these other companies that is Chemelil Sugar Company Limited, Muhoroni Sugar Company Limited and South Nyanza Sugar Company Ltd (Sony Sugar) are all in Nyanza. They deserve to benefit from taxpayers’ money like the people of Kiambu, Nyeri and Kirinyaga deserve to benefit from the coffee debt waiver. In conclusion, last week, there is a saying I quoted, ‘that you cannot build a kingdom when you are fixated with attention from the village’. I know some of you took it out of context and tried to mobilise a hate campaign. I call on us, as Members of the National Assembly to put the nation ahead of our community and parochial self-interest."
