    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am sure Kenyans were waiting with bated breath for the outcome of the Report of the two Committees this afternoon. I am glad because the two Committees have given us an opportunity, through the Report, to debate on issues concerning the inquiry into the alleged presence of contaminated sugar in the country. Because I have five minutes to contribute, let me raise some very substantial questions. I want to ask Members some questions. This is a very important Report which is on live coverage. All of us must live by the Standing Orders, so that we listen to each other and when given an opportunity, we respect the rights of others. The people in the streets of Nairobi and the great people of Garissa Township, whom I represent in this House, will ask a number of questions. If they are answered conclusively by this Report, then one way or the other, this House will decide. These are the questions: Is there contaminated sugar in the country? Does it have mercury or even any other metal? I am only posing questions, so that they can be recorded in the HANSARD. I do not want answers. If yes, what are the quantities of the metals present and are they harmful to humans? Where is the contaminated sugar located? Where can it be found? In which godown or warehouse is the contaminated sugar stored? Is there excess sugar in the market and how much is it? Who imported the contaminated sugar? Which companies imported the contaminated sugar? Which companies, name by name, did not pay duty and evaded taxation? We want to know the names and not 14 companies. What role did public officers, including ministers, play in the importation of sugar?"
