    "content": "The Government must follow the Constitution. Agriculture is a devolved function. There is no way we can follow the Sugar Development Fund from Nairobi. Who determined that? What was the logic of building the Headquarters of the Sugar Board in Nairobi other than it being easily accessible to the corrupt? It is just corruption. Why are they collecting money from innocent people and bringing it to Nairobi so that Members and leaders can come and beg for it? The factories are always constantly closed or not functioning properly. Hon. Wafula Wamunyinyi said that Nzoia Sugar Company made a loss of Kshs600 million in the first six months of last year. In the last six months of last year, they constantly had over 40,000 bags of sugar. This is because people in the Government, and this cannot be private people, are bringing sugar into this country. They are flooding our markets with imported sugar and we cannot let them. The sugar barons are known. You cannot bring sugar into this county unless you are known to the Government. It bothers me---"
