    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I beg to support the Motion as amended. As I congratulate the hon. Members of the Committee, I would like to raise some points which I would like them to pursue and concentrate on while conducting the inquiry. The real theft was not just through the machinery. It was through a Gazette Notice which gazetted cashewnuts and bixa as schedule crops. I have checked the dictionary and I do not know what \"schedule crops\" means, but at that time, it meant that the factory could buy the raw materials at a pre-determined rate, which forced the farmers to sell to one buyer at a very low pre-determined rate. This was in its own way broad daylight robbery. The sad thing is that nobody spoke up in defence of the poor farmers at that time. That was real robbery, even more than the actual theft of buildings and machinery. All the raw materials were purchased at a controlled price when the rest of the Kenyan crops and produce were liberalised."
