    "content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to take this opportunity to thank the Assistant Minister for a honest Statement. However I want to draw his attention to the Sugar Act of 2001 which reads in Part V, Section 27 as follows:- “Safeguard measures subject to such regional and international trade agreements which Kenya is a party: All sugar imports into the country shall be subject to the prevailing import duties, taxes and other tariffs, and such imports shall be controlled by the board.” Mr. Assistant Minister, are you aware that on 3rd December, 2010, there was a letter that originated from your ministry written by your Permanent Secretary directing the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Kenya Sugar Board that should there be any imports into this country, the limit should be controlled? Why are you going against the Sugar Act, 2001? Two, I want to table a list of sugar importers who have been importing sugar into this country. You have mentioned one sugar importer. My question was very specific. I want to find out the names of companies and individuals who are importing sugar into this country. But this list, which I am sure you have with your answer, has more than one name of importers. We have Roosevelt Enterprise, Tuk Investments and Commodity Sorting House. The figures are too small and I cannot read them. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the question of one importer importing sugar does not arise. That is because in your answer, you have a list of many sugar importers. I wish to table this list."
