    "content": "would find that the death of Kibos Sugar Company can bring down the only major investment in that part of the world. If I am not wrong, they are, in fact, the biggest taxpayer in terms of rates and others to Kisumu County Governments. Sen. Outa is here. Mr. Speaker, Sir, whereas environmental questions are important – and I am an avid supporter of the protection and conservation of the environment – I think NEMA should do things properly. Many times, you find that a decision is made and it does not comply with the law. If it does, it has been made for the wrong reasons. In relation to the Kibos Sugar Company matter, I think this issue has been in court and every time, the court has criticized the manner in which NEMA people have acted. All in all, I support this Statement and hope the Committee will delve into this issue. Other committees have been formed before by the National Assembly and by the Kisumu County Assembly. I think as a matter of urgency, the Committee should get to work and come out with the real facts around this constant dispute between NEMA and Kibos Sugar Company."
