    "content": "pressure or challenges whereby, they have so much sugar packed in their stores and they are unable to sell the one they are producing from the factory. This brings a problem because then our farmers have sugar cane that is overgrowing in their farms. That is our main source of income in that constituency. This Authority is so crucial to us. We would like a director general that will look into the plight of the farmers in my constituency whose farms are overgrown with sugar cane but cannot harvest because probably there are some sugar barons that are providing sugar where theirs should be. That is why the Competition Authority is very important. The report that has been tabled before us is not fairly considered because I do not see the comparison that was made to other persons. If the candidate was suitable, who was he suitable against? If there was competency, who was he competent against? We needed to see this. This is not to say that Mr. David Kemei is not suitable. However, it is to stress that opportunity should be given for everybody to compete against each other. That is why we call it a recruitment. Therefore, I am hesitant to support this Motion. Going forward, all recruitment processes must be competitive and everybody must be given a chance. If this is done, then we will have a country that we all admire to live in. Those are my points. I do not support this Motion based on the process and on the fact that only one name was provided. In future, all Kenyans must be given a chance. I thank you."
