    "content": "However, I have never even cleared a spoon of Mumias sugar. There is a lot of evidence from the KRA when you are clearing. Hon. Speaker, I also want you to order the relevant Committee of this House to go ahead and investigate these funds because, in a way, my name has been tarnished. I am not going to allow this because according to the Standing Orders, you cannot debate a Member of Parliament without bringing a substantive Motion on the Floor of this House. Should I be found innocent in this matter, I want you to take necessary steps to punish these Members and any other Member who will make fictitious claims against a Member of this House. With me are the tallying sheets of export. I want to justify why I strongly feel that Dr. Evans Kidero was culpable in this matter. Dr. Kidero was the Managing Director of Mumias Sugar Company between 2003 and 2012. I hope that all members will have time to look at the tallying sheets. It is the policy of the company that there is no truck that leaves Mumias Sugar Company today that can have more than 560 bags. This translates to 28 tonnes. In these tallying sheets, we have trucks that left Mumias with a total of 3,360, 1,000 and 1,200 bags. This translates to more than 50 tonnes, and this is against the National Transport and Safety Authority Act. I know that the one who may have authorised that kind of transaction to go on was none other than the manager, who by that time was the Managing Director of Mumias Sugar Company.
