    "content": "Secondly, I would also like to comment on the sugar sector. They have allocated Kshs673million to pay the entire farmers’ debt. However, it is regrettable that while we are working on a restructuring programme for Kenya Airways, we are leaving a serious institution called Mumias Sugar Company. The Government of the Republic of Kenya owns 20 per cent shares in Mumias Sugar Company. It is very sad that the company has collapsed but in the current Budget Estimates no money has been allocated towards this key industry. Year in, year out, we import sugar because we do not have sugar strategic reserves. I thought the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock, and the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, would consider this noble cause so that we have a sugar strategic reserve in the country and stop depending on cheap imports from Brazil and the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) countries."
