    "content": "I beg to move:- THAT, the Motion be amended by deleting the full stop at the end and inserting the following words:- “subject to amendment of the Report by: (b) insertion of the following new Paragraphs immediately before Paragraph 102 (Observations of the Committee):- 101A. The key conclusion from investigations on Mumias Sugar Company’s exports was that it was a ploy to defraud the Government of the realizable Value Added Tax (VAT). Neither the Management nor the Board of the Company could confirm that the sugar actually left the country. 101B. Although the former Mumias Sugar Company Managing Director Dr. Evans Kidero submitted that documents proving that the consignment indeed left the country in the custody of the Company, the current Mumias Sugar Company management was at pains to prove that indeed the sugar left the country. Documents provided by the management in an attempt to prove that the sugar was indeed exported were not verifiable. The Board of Directors, through the Chairman Mr. Dan Ameyo, submitted that the Board would carry out a forensic audit on the exports, like it had done on company sugar imports, and give its findings to the Committee within six months. That is the second amendment and I ask my brother Hon. Kabando wa Kabando, MP for Mukurweini, to second."
