"content": "As you are aware, Standing Order No.209 establishes the Committee on Implementation whose mandate is to scrutinise the resolutions of the House and examine whether or not they have been implemented, and the extent to which legislation passed by the House has been operationalised. Indeed, and in the discharge of its mandate, the Committee on Implementation invited the Sugar Directorate to update the House on the status of the implementation of the resolutions made in the last Parliament with regard to the crisis in the sugar sector. It is in the implementation of a resolution of this House that the Sugar Directorate has delayed the processing of import permits for companies which were mentioned adversely in the Report. Since the receipt of the letter, I have scrutinized the text of the Report tabled and adopted by the House and I confirm that the minutes attached to the Report show that the said company Kenafric Limited, who is a Petitioner in this matter, sought audience before the Committee in writing to respond to allegations made by the Kenya Sugar Board prior to the conclusion of the writing and tabling of the Report. The minutes record thus: “1. The Committee deliberated on the issue and resolved that it was in a position to hear more witnesses since the Report was long overdue. 2. If the complaint feels aggrieved, he could seek recourse after the Report is tabled in the House.”"
