    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that the management of Mumias Outgrowers Company (MOCO 1998) Ltd. is buying diesel fuel at Kshs98 per litre. First, I would like to clarify that the current price of diesel is Kshs95. I called the District Agricultural Officer 20 minutes ago. I asked him to go and check the current pump price for diesel. He found that it is selling at Kshs95.95. I have talked to the Chief Executive of MOCO. I have instructed him that, from now onwards, they should buy diesel at the current price and not at Kshs98. (b) I am further aware that MOCO Ltd. has not submitted deductions for the last five months to the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) and nine months to Sukari SACCO respectively. They have outstanding arrears of Kshs8 million. They have agreed with both parties to pay these arrears in ten months. (c) In order to rectify the above situation, the following measures have been taken:- Both the NSSF and Sukari SACCO have entered into an agreement with MOCO on how the company is going to clear the arrears. Secondly, the Ministry, through the Kenya Sugar Board, has injected Kshs203,071,923 to improve the company's operation."
