"content": "The basic problem in the sugar industry is that our sugar industry is very unproductive. Whereas in some other states like in South East Asia they harvest cane twice in 18 months, our sugarcane farmers harvest once. The sugar content in the sugarcane in those countries is double the amount of that found in ours. So, the problem is also the sugar content. The sugar boards are corrupt. They have been together with the sugar cartels. There are roads that were meant to be repaired using the Sugar Levy Fund, money given to sugar factories but the factories use the machinery to build roads to suit themselves, not to suit the farmers. In the last Parliament, the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Development looked into the issue of sugar. We looked at the issue of Mumias. What happened?
