    "content": "There was also purported export of sugar. We cannot blame the management of Mumias Sugar Company. On the basis of “willing buyer, willing seller” principle, the extra tonnes of sugar were bound for export. At the point of exit, there was collusion between the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) and those purported exporters whereby, the same sugar was being dumped back in the country. I call upon the House to look at this Report objectively. As a Committee, we called upon Mumias Sugar Company to initiate another report so that we can find out more on the issues of export. There should be a forensic audit so that we can find out if at all the sugar really left the country or not. We cannot blame one person. That is why, as a Committee, we recommended that further investigations be carried out on KRA, the purported exporters as well as the transporters who were carrying that sugar across the country. With those few remarks, I support the Motion as amended."
