    "content": "for the cheaper sugar. The end result is that we will end up with no sugar company in the Republic of Kenya. So, we will kill our own industries. It would be important for the Government of the Republic of Kenya to see what we are not doing for our millers in terms of cost of production to lower the prices to the level where we become competitive with these products or cheap sugar that is being imported into this country. One fact is clear that we still have old machines. Therefore, we need to look at efficiency during production so that we can have competitive prices. The window of sugar imported to this country should be extended only to industrial sugar that we lack and not table sugar. What is in deficit is industrial sugar, the one that was produced by Miwani Sugar Company that collapsed. This is what Uganda is capable of producing than us. This is what Uganda is also capable of producing. However, in Kenya, we want to import a product that Uganda itself is not capable of producing. So, where are they going to get this sugar they want to give this country? It means Uganda is going to serve as a conduit of transfer of sugar from other Commonwealth zones where it has already been subsidised and farmers are already assisted hence the cost is low."
