    "content": "We need to support this Motion. The sugar industry is getting killed. We know very well that agriculture is the backbone of our country. The Member from Igembe talked about pyrethrum farming, which faced a natural death simply because of the cartels which could not pay farmers. Very many people who sat on the Pyrethrum Board of Kenya became rich yet the pyrethrum industry died a natural death. It was an investment that was worthy and it could be employing millions of our youth now, but it was left to die because of cartels. These cartels are now in the sugar sector. There is need for this House to come down on the cartels. We are always pumping money into Kenya Airways trying to resuscitate an already dead horse. We have to find out where the problem is. You could have a horse that is not functioning. Now, if it is thin, emaciated or sick, you can treat or give it food and it will start functioning. In the situation of sugar-cane mills and other industries that are partly owned by the Government, we have been pumping money into dead horses that you cannot at all resuscitate even if you pump billions of shillings into them. Kenyans are really tired of the Government pumping billions and billions of their money into these industries that do not function."
