    "content": "sugar and evade taxes and then bring it here so that it is cheaper than the locally manufactured sugar. That way, you make more money. If that is the scenario then this House, more so my colleagues who come from the sugarcane-growing zones, should know who then brings the sugar industry down. It must be somebody who is protected by authority to import sugar and evade paying taxes. Therefore, the sugar would land here cheaply and sell fast because it is slightly better done than ours. These are the people who are, in fact, killing the sugar industry. We want the Government to be serious and protect sugarcane farmer and ensure that the sugar industry is well regulated just like any other. Very soon, we are going to call these Members to a caucus. This Motion should continue, but most of the challenges will be addressed by the CS’s Regulatory Act which will be gazetted very soon. Otherwise, I support it because it is a good step. As Members, we need to do much more and avoid visiting those privately-owned companies, more so over the weekends for brown envelopes which confuse us at the alter of killing our farmers. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support."
