Emmanuel Wangwe","speaker":{"id":2543,"legal_name":"Emmanuel Wangwe","slug":"emmanuel-wangwe"},"content":" Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am the Vice-Chair. My Chair has given me the opportunity to proceed. I want to say that these cartels have engaged in very severe onslaught on the people. The Leader of the Majority Party mentioned me and stated that I have a photo which I took in Pan Paper. Let us call a spade a spade. Pan Paper Mills was sold purely to mill paper, not to store sugar. To convert paper into sugar requires a process. I want to give you statistics. The person who imported this sugar knows very well that the consumption of industrial sugar in the whole country per year cannot exceed 70,000 metric tonnes. He has brought into the country 184,000 metric tonnes of industrial sugar. This is a war he has launched with us. He is prepared for us. This is not something that someone wants to create for the purpose of selling. In this regard, as we will be prosecuting this issue, we will put this person to task to explain why. But I will not leave without mentioning that while in Webuye I was informed that the General Service Unit (GSU) officers that left Nairobi to guard the godown in Webuye were recalled. I want to ask: Who is this official who recalled the police officers so that they do not guard the sugar which is still poisonous? We are not sure how much of the sugar is in the market."}
