    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I think we are missing the whole point. There are two main issues here. There is the health aspect of this problem and then there is the trade and taxes and the illicit issues. I voluntarily attended the meetings as a friend of the Committee and I share some of the sentiments that have come here. I came to the conclusion that the important aspect will be lost and it looks like it has been lost. I say that because the question that Hon. Lesuuda asked is one of the issues I raised when I was there. The figures we are being given are of the sugar that was confiscated. That is totally different from the sugar that is in the shelf. So, I asked this question: Can they tell us that officers have gone out across the country in supermarkets and tested regionally from the time this issue came into being up to now? I do not think that information has come because that is what will tell us what is in the market. Obviously, the sugar that was confiscated and tested is confiscated. It is not in the market. So, it is not our worry. I think the Members that were there when I was there noticed that I did not go back because it did not look to me like I was being very useful. But can we have data from that time on which areas of the country, even if it is sampling month by month or week by week up to today because that is what will give us the answer? I asked that question. I do not know whether that data has arrived. Two, this is a progress Report but there are things that should not go in the HANSARD. When we are talking of units of measurement of copper and lead, it cannot be “ml” but “mg”."
