    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to talk about this Report. From the outset, I want to oppose it. As a House we need to differentiate between the facts and fiction. We need to put aside politics and reality. I am happy you gave Hon. Naisula Lesuuda opportunity to shed some light as the originator of the question which led to this Report. The question as to whether the sugar in the market is safe for Kenyans is very important. It is something which many Kenyans across constituencies have been calling us to find out if the sugar they are consuming is safe or not. I have gone through the Report and I took issue with Recommendation 5.1.5 where the Committee cited only one wholesaler called Diamond Godown in Eastleigh and they have indicated that the KEBS detected metals such as mercury and copper. It is very serious and that is just a sample. As somebody said, it was a mistake to have a joint committee on this important national issue. The Committee retreated for almost three weeks, wasted Government resources and has brought a Report which they know is not going to pass through the test of this House."
