Omulele","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":2145,"legal_name":"Christopher Omulele","slug":"christopher-omulele"},"content":"Kenya, we are able to only produce 600 metric tonnes of sugar. Our consumption is 850 tonnes. In the Sugar Act, there is a provision that there will be an import into the country of 250 metric tonnes of sugar, which is the deficit in the country. This is where the problem is. I want to agree with my brother, Hon. Wandayi, that the crux of this matter is in this importation of sugar under the COMESA safeguards."}
