    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, no proper valuation was done on this privatisation. To echo or support the sentiments of my colleagues who have contributed, I wish to suggest that the land be reverted to the county government. The community should be given first priority. We represent the community and these factories should be given to the county governments to take care of the interests of the people from these counties. The factories were built in the 80s. For instance, the Nzoia Sugar Company was put up in 1978. The factory is obsolete. The most important aspect of this is the land, which belongs to the people. This should be reverted back to the county government. The second point is that the Government must offset the huge debt of Kshs58 billion on these factories. With good managers, these companies can do well. There are cartels in this country of people who pretend and take factories like these ones and later sell them at higher prices or allocate them to themselves. For example, the Mumias Sugar Company was privatised, but now the Government is giving it money to operate and produce sugar at the expense of the public.
