    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. As we witnessed recently, Mumias Sugar Company was given to eminent businessmen in this country. As a result, Mumias Sugar Company is now one of the most mismanaged sugar factories. It has collapsed. Privatisation of these factories must be done with a lot of care and after consultations. We must not take public properties and put them in the hands of a few people. The land on which the sugar factories are situated belongs to the Government. The land was acquired upon payment of very minimal amounts of money. Most of the factories, it is evident, are mismanaged. If we privatise these companies, we will be giving resources to corrupt people. I am sure they will sell the land and move away. They will desert those factories."
