    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I hope the House has appreciated what we have been going through for the last two years as a Committee. That is because we were approaching this matter in a very sober way but, unfortunately, with the likes of hon. Washiali, we could not make much progress. I am happy finally, when all is said and done, that we were able to table a very objective Report based on the evidence as adduced in the Committee. I would like to call upon Members to debate this Report objectively so that we can move forward as a nation. We have realized that there is a serious crisis in the sugar sector as adduced in this particular Report. We have seen what is happing in Western Kenya as an extremely emotive matter. We have seen the issues of contraband imports coming into the country, including now. Hence, I would like to call upon Members to really debate this Report in a very objective way, so that we can find a lasting solution. As I contribute to this particular debate as amended, we need to look at the cost of production. It is extremely expensive. When you look at what is happening in Western Kenya,"
