    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me a chance. I would like to refer you to Standing Order No.48. Fortunately, the Hon. Member is very conversant with clearing. He knows very well that a prepared export document is like money. It is logged at the KRA central system. When goods reach the other side, the system clearly shows that they have reached. The Report is not complete because Mumias Sugar Company is saying that they need time to investigate and provide evidence. Clearly, from the knowledge you have, they have the information which is not available. They need more time to investigate. How do you then come and do a determination on an issue which we are being told requires more time for determination? We cannot do it as the National Assembly. As a House, let us be fair to everybody. The issue of sugar is serious because it touches on the life of common Kenyans. As far as I am concerned, it is not fair for a Member to bring a Motion for us to discuss somebody who cannot even come to the House and on allegations which he cannot authenticate. I wish he would have brought export entry documents to prove that money was lost. We need evidence. The evidence we need here is in terms of the export documents which show that these are the entries, these are the vehicles and this is the revenue which was lost. That attachment is missing in the Motion which you want to move an amendment. More importantly and fundamentally, the investigation is not complete. With that, we cannot sit here to condemn somebody. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
