    "content": "Hon. Speaker, two weeks ago you gave directions on a Report which was supposed to be tabled by the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Co-operatives on Mumias Sugar Company (MSC). Today we are dealing with the issue of privatisation of those sugar companies but the Report is not yet here. Hon. Speaker, this Committee has stayed with this Report for more than eight months. They have the Klynveld Peat Marwick Goerdeler (KPMG) forensic audit. They owe the people of Mumias and sugar growers in this country an answer. Twenty per cent of the people of Kenya are sugar cane farmers. In fact, the 20 per cent is 6 million people to be more specific. I want you to use your discretion and ask that Committee, the Chair, the Vice Chair or the Committee Members what is going on. We need to clear and respect the integrity of Parliament. Why should the Report of Committee take eight months when MSC has gone down and the people who took it down are known? This is unless somebody somewhere is protecting some very big fish of the political class of this country. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
