    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I am a bit at a loss on what the Committee is really looking for. I thought there are two fundamental things here. One is whether there is evidence in this country that some of the sugar that has found its way into this country is poisonous – has either mercury or poison substances. The other one would be detail on whether there were irregularities in importation of sugar, which to me is a lesser devil than whether the sugar is poisoned. I thought the Committee could bring a Report on whether there is sugar that is poisonous in this country. That is a matter that cannot wait. We actually need a preliminary report, as Hon. Duale, who is the Leader of the Majority Party, puts it. The sugar industry is on its knees as we speak. People are not taking sugar. This is economic sabotage for those who depend on sugar growing and sugar cane as the most important crop. I thought the Committee would divide its Report into two. First, bring us a report stating whether there is any sugar that is poisoned in the country. That should not take much time. If there was sugar that had been found to be poisonous, we should get to know as a country. Then, the other cases can wait. Thank you."
