    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the sugar sector is governed by the Sugar Act No.10 of 2008. The Act establishes the Kenya Sugar Board (KSB) that regulates the industry and manages the Sugar Development Fund for research and development. The proposed amendments will fine tune the Sugar Act 2008 to tighten the regulatory regime as follows. One is to improve the Kenya Sugar Board surveillance powers to cover sugar imports by providing for appointment of sugar inspectors, who can inspect sugar imports. Two is to introduce more stringent eligibility criteria for stakeholders’ representatives by providing for minimum qualifications for members of the board. Thirdly, we also seek to reduce the size of the board by providing for only one representative of the Ministry of Agriculture instead of the two as the case is currently."
