"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true that Mumias Sugar Company was mandated by the Kenya Sugar Board (KSB), which was owed a sum of Kshs337 million by Busia Sugar Company--- Indeed, a Mr. Jones Ndumbi, who was an employee of Mumias Sugar Company, was appointed as the Receiver Manager. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, initially Busia Sugar Company had payment arrears to farmers to the tune of Kshs55 million. That amount was paid by Mumias Sugar Company on behalf of Busia Sugar Company, so that the farmers did not suffer. There is an agreement between Mumias Sugar Company and Busia Sugar Company to lease part of the nucleus estates for purposes of recovering the money that was paid to farmers by Mumias Sugar Company on behalf of Busia Sugar Company. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is also an agreement that the Receiver Manager will continue to use the assets of Busia Sugar Company with the intention of paying off all the other creditors. When that is done, then other arrangements will be made with a view to reinstating the status of Busia Sugar Company and making it operational."
