    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I border Migori which is a producer of sugar. But I will also be producing sugar soon in Homa Bay County. I have a lot of interest. Madam Temporary Speaker, first, I want to thank the Chairman for a thesis that is well researched. But if I was marking it, I would give him 20 per cent. Really, is the Ministry aware that the machinery and technology that we are talking about in all sugar companies are obsolete and belong to the other century? You can check what Mauritius is doing, just next door. Madam Temporary Speaker, the Chairman has talked about Miwani, Chemelil, Muhoroni and other companies being put under receivership. Have you ever seen companies that are perpetually in receivership and, somehow, still continue to survive? Madam Temporary Speaker, we have talked about the seed varieties for many years now - almost 20 years. I do not know where these seed varieties are going to be imported from. How come we have never brought the fast-maturing high-sucrose content varieties that we have been talking about for so many years? Madam Temporary Speaker, lastly, on importation of sugar, if I could just support the Senator for Kakamega, are you aware that for the last two weeks, sugar has been coming in from Zambia, through the Namanga border? All roadblocks have been removed for the sake of this sugar. Who is importing it?"
