    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue of Busia Sugar Company has become a long story. As you can see from the Question, it began in the 1980s. In fact, the word \"began\" is a misnomer, because it has never began. It is just a name in books. This is a project which affects thousands of farmers, not just in Busia but also in Amagoro, Siaya and parts of Bungoma districts. Could the Minister give us an undertaking here today that Mumias Sugar Company will keep its promise, which it made to farmers last year, that once the acreage has been increased to about 20,000 acres, they will put up a white sugar factory, which will be producing sugar under the name of Busia Sugar Company? The problem is that these promises have been on and on and on, and nothing ever happens. In fact, this issue always erupts during election time, and after that it dies out. Could the Minister - knowing him for being very vibrant and an active young man - give an undertaking that he will use the energy that is in him to ensure that Mumias Sugar Company starts a sugar factory in Busia either this year or next year?"
