    "content": "We also learnt one thing which is very important. I was a Member of the Sugar Committee which did not succeed on the Floor of this House. We discovered that there is no industrial sugar which is processed in this country. We were told earlier that a factory in Kibos processes industrial sugar. However, when we probed this company which uses industrial sugar, they said that they import most of the sugar which they use for confectionery and biscuits. When we examined the facts, we gave them an opportunity to explain. They even said that during the time when the Report was being prepared, they were not invited to present their side of the story. We called the Agriculture, Food and Fisheries Authority (AFFA) to explain where this allegation came from. When you look at the report on sugar which was prepared by the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock, it said that AFFA said that Kenafric Industries Limited engages in re-packaging of industrial sugar as table sugar. We discovered that AFFA did not produce any evidence. If we never re-considered this company and looked at the case afresh, we realised that there could be a lot of injustice to it."
