    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to make some reaction. I want to thank the Committee for giving us an update on their progress. I also would like to register my disappointment on the rate at which this matter is being handled. The issue of sugar being poisonous is a national and international issue because it affects the main and important part of life. It is about people’s lives; it is about the kind of guests we expect in this country. Other than the challenges it poses on the industries, it also affects key sectors like tourism in this country. I support the views that have been given by the Leader of the Majority Party. The Committee should use every opportunity to give us an update, especially to validate the allegations that have come – including those from the CS for the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government; that, indeed, the sugar is poisonous. If they can give us a Report by Thursday before we go for the break it will help. I do not think it takes a lot of rocket science to prove that there is poison in sugar. That is a laboratory exercise which can take a few hours. All we need to do is ensure that we get enough samples to provide a basis for giving a position on the quality of the said sugar. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
