    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I would like to joyride on Hon. K’Oyoo's question. pursuant to Articles 35 and 201 of the Constitution, Section 23 of the Parliamentary Powers and Privileges Act and our Standing Orders, I ask the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock to submit to this House the following transactional documents in relation to the leasing of the sugar factories: One, the tender package and selection records. The entire process on how the bidders were identified during tendering. We also need to see the advert and evaluation. Secondly, we would like to see copies of individual lease agreements for each of the following mills: Muhoroni, Chemelil, Sony and Nzoia. We would also like to see the investment programme as proposed by each of the bidders and the performance guarantees that they have provided, including those that have been issued by banks in case they default. We would like to see documentation confirming that the lessees will not charge the nuclear estate to borrow money. We want audited accounts of all the preferred bidders for the last seven years. We want the constituent instruments of all the preferred bidders and declaration of who their beneficial owners are. We also want evidence of public participation in the selection of the preferred bidders, including minutes. We need letters of reference from banks and other industry players vouching for the bidders. We also need a copy of the legal opinion of the Attorney-General on those transactions relating to the leasing of the mills. Finally, we need an opinion from the Competition Authority of Kenya (CAK) as to how the presence of the bidders who have been selected will affect competition and market concentration in the sectors. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
