    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I could see there is a lot of interest. This afternoon, a number of farmers from Nyando sugar belt came to my office. The reason they were there is that the only operational company, which is Kibos Sugar Company and that has served farmers for a number of years, was ordered closed by NEMA. A number of farmers have taken their produce there for the last one week, but nothing is happening in the Kibos Sugar Company factory. As you have heard from my neighbour, Sen. Cherargei, Kibos Sugar Factory is the only one, after Chemelil, Muhoroni and Miwani sugar factories went under. We are requesting for this Statement because livelihoods are threatened. That is why many farmers are on the streets striking. We are here to stand with our farmers and Kibos Sugar Company so that the factory should be opened to allow farmers continue with their livelihoods. This is a matter of urgency. I request that you order the Committee concerned to report within one week."
