    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On this one, I would like to join my colleagues on the other side. Why am I saying so? I say so because I believe this is a fair House that does not act in vain. I have looked at the amendments and I do not know why conclusions should be reached when they are still awaiting the decision of the Board of Mumias Sugar Company. When you say you are waiting for a report and the report has not come, how do you reach at conclusions? The other issue that should be looked at is that this is a company. I presume a company has a memorandum and articles of association. This was a premier company. I remember trading in shares of the company. How do you make an individual whether a board member, manager or Managing Director to be responsible for the actions of a limited liability company? It cannot and will never work. I believe it is wrong for anybody to say that Dr. Kidero should be held responsible. Are we saying that all the other parties should go scot-free? The Hon. Member has mentioned other institutions like the Kenya Revenue Authority and limited companies which were trading with Mumias Sugar Company. How do we just let them off the hook? Do we have the authority, as a House, or we are being told that that is the target and we forget the others? I believe that we should be fair on this one. It is not a political contest and it should not be used in such a manner. Let us just reach a conclusion that is fair, just and which will assist this country. I believe that the conclusion under Paragraph 115 should not be allowed in this House at this time. That is my position, Hon. Speaker."
