"content": " I just wanted to add my voice to what the Leader of the Majority Party has raised. This matter squarely lies in the Departmental Committee on Trade, Industry and Co-operatives. It is because this is an imported product. It is not sugar that was produced from sugar-cane that was grown in western Kenya, where I come from. It is sugar that has been imported. It is contaminated and it is a counterfeit product. For that reason, this matter can properly be dealt with by the Departmental Committee on Trade, Industry and Co- operatives. Agriculture is about growing. That sugar was not grown in Kenya. It is written “Brazil Sugar”. The Standing Orders are very clear on this matter, as you read it under Schedule Two. In fact, if there is a Departmental Committee which should join them, then it is the Departmental Committee on Health. It is dangerous to consume mercury, lead and copper. The doctors in the Departmental Committee on Health can go there. This is purely a matter of trade, industry and co-operatives. This Departmental Committee is supposed to protect the interest of consumers in this country; consumers who are consuming goods that have been manufactured inside this country and outside. In fact, Dr. Pukose can join them to test the product as a doctor. This matter lies purely on the Departmental Committee on Trade and Industry. I watched on TV this afternoon and I saw the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture saying that he has written to the Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture, Treasury and that of Industrialization. I do not know where that confusion came from."
