    "content": "I expected the Committee to go a little further in the investigations and find out how COMESA sugar is imported into this country. That sugar import window is managed by the Kenya Sugar Board. The KSB is authorised by law to auction licences to companies that have interest and have shown capacity to import sugar and have trade ties in the region with companies that produce sugar. What happens in the boardrooms of the KSB is a matter of interest. I expected this Committee to have interrogated heavily the KSB. Unfortunately, I have looked at the Report and I have not seen the presentations or the interrogations that were conducted at the KSB. The real problem that faces the sugar industry is the importation of sugar. The KSB licenses importers of sugar into this country. The Committee did not interrogate even the Managing Director of the KSB. I dare submit that if we do not look into the licences that have been issued by the KSB to sugar importers in this country, we will not find out the importers of contraband sugar into this country."
