    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for that correction. I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives on the sugar shortage and its escalated costs in the country laid on the Table of the House on Wednesday, December 14, 2011. Sugar in Kenya is produced locally, but it costs more than petrol. Sugar is produced locally and yet, our children are going without sugar. The Committee was able to meet all the stakeholders. The good news is that, after two weeks of deliberations, which are well captured in this Report, they have agreed to reduce the price from the current level of up to Kshs250 per kilo to an affordable Kshs130 to Kshs135 per kilo. They have not been coerced to do it, but it is based on logic. It is for this reason that I am asking this House, so that we can make progress, to adopt the Report so that by tomorrow, the millers and importers can have announcements all over and say that sugar for this Christmas will be Kshs130 per kilogramme. With that I beg to move and ask my Committee Member, Dr. Munyaka, to second."
