"content": "So, it is expensive for us to produce and sell sugar. First, nobody will buy Kenyan sugar even in the region. So, the fundamental question is: What do we do? How do we compete with Kenana Sugar Company in Sudan? I had the pleasure to visit Khartoum and went to Kenana Sugar Factory in 2012. Their own sugar farms are close to 2 million hectares, which are owned by the company. It is the responsibility of the Government and this House to make sure that the 6 million Kenyans who invest their occupation in sugar- cane farming benefit. My people do livestock farming. They rear camels. Today, we are telling the Government that it must sell its share in the Kenya Meat Commission, so that it can compete with Botswana Meat Commission.

We want the Government to offload its shares in those factories to a strategic partner who has the money and give the remaining shares to The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
