"content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for protecting me. When you look at this Report, I agree that it has brought out main issues that are actually of interest to the sugar industry in this country. I dare to venture that they should have gone further. At the end of the day, I will support this Report, but the crisis in the sugar industry in this country can be captured by what is set out at Article 22 of this Report which says that it has been established by this Committee that the average cost of producing one tonne of cane in Kenya is US$22 while in the rest of the region it is as low as US$13 per tonne. So, when you look at this, you realise that while we produce our sugar at US$22, the rest are producing sugar at half that price. We cannot compete like this."
