    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not only the Tana River County but even Kwale County. The President and Ministers have gone to the Kwale International Sugar Company (KISC) and every time, we are being told that it is going to start but, again, the same story goes; this and the other delays. We are asking the Ministry to make deliberate effort to open up potential areas at the six counties in the Coast. In the Coast, the Government has a lot of land which is governed by the Government Lands Act. This means that there are acres and acres of land which the Government, with the understanding of locals, can go into partnership for production of sugar, so that we can meet even the local consumption. I, therefore, support this Bill, but urge the Minister to look into new horizon. Do not just think of western Kenya and Nyanza every time you talk about sugar. Let us think of the Coast because these are the new frontiers that will increase sugar production. For example, when we talk of new frontiers in the Information Communication Technology (ICT) business, people are thinking differently and not at the traditional areas."
