    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The question is whether to form a select committee or let the Departmental Committee on Trade to proceed. I want to support the position of Members who are talking of dedicating this to the committee. That is because Members who are in the Committee on Trade also qualify to be in the select committee. Therefore, we will just be repeating the same thing. The only other request I want to make is that this is not the first time sugar is being imported in this country. The Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock has had to look at issues of importation for a long time. Even if we do not refer this to the Committee on Agriculture, we need to put a few Members there. Members should know that any other Members, even if they are not members of the Departmental Committee on Trade, Industry and Co-operatives, are free to attend the sessions. Therefore, if you have any questions that you want to ask as a Member of Parliament, you have a right to go and attend the sessions so that you can ask the questions that you would have wished to ask were you in the select committee. Therefore, my request is that, already, the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock has moved. It has already written to the CS to come and meet them. They have already written to KRA and all the other departments mentioned."
