    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you have heard the Minister say that as soon as a willing investor is identified, they will come. In this country sugar consumers are deducted 7 per cent levy and that money is collected by the Sugar Levy Development Authority. That money that is collected is enough to start a medium sized factory. Last year, Mumias Sugar Company, which is under the Ministry of Agriculture, tried to force itself to invest in the sugar industry in Tana River and the people of Tana River refused. How can he say that they have not identified an investor? Why can he not redirect Mumias Sugar Company to come and start investing in sugar in Kerio Valley? Finally, I would like to ask the Minister what he has done to identify an investor. Has he advertised in the local dailies? Has he sent a request to the Investment Promotion Centre (IPC) so that investors could be found? There is so much money collected by the Sugar Levy Development Authority and can be used for investment."
