"content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker Sir. I wish to take this opportunity to thank all the Kenyans, individuals and institutions who gave us information either in writing or orally, who made their contributions to this Committee. We want to thank, especially the victims. Allow me to take this opportunity to send the Committee’s and my condolences to the family of Esther Mutio Mwanza who passed away as a result of this rather tragic experience. In particular to also express our condolences to Dr. Munyaka because Esther was his first cousin. I hear that she is being buried on Friday in Lukenya. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also take this opportunity to thank all the Members of my Committee for their patience, sacrifice and endurance and hard work. I want to thank my assistant chair, Mr. Fred Kapondi, Mr. David Ngugi and Mr. David Were. I wish to thank the Government Ministers, Permanent Secretaries and other departments for their co-operation. I am grateful to Mr. James Aggrey Orengo who has shown great humility in being with us throughout these discussions. He is a man I have known as a colleague in the struggle for many years. I am not at all surprised that he has been part of this in the manner that he has been. We look forward to standing by him as he brings the necessary reforms in his Ministry. I take this opportunity also to appreciate the support given by your office and the office of the Clerk for facilitating the work of our Committee, for the human resource as well as the Parliamentary Service Commission for provision of funds for this noble task in the interest of our people. We look forward very much to this House adopting this Report. I am very grateful for the time that they have debated it. It is now my pleasant duty on behalf of the joint Committee on Administration and National Security, Lands and Natural Resources, Local Authorities, and; Transport, Public Works and Housing to present and commend as I have done this Report to this House and wish to request that this hon. House adopts it. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move."

"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."

At the same time, we support the importation of duty-free sugar for the time being, so that we can allow sugar cane farms to develop, instead of the current situation where farmers are harvesting immature cane. That will save the sugar belt. Thank you very much. I second."

We are going to Christmas and, at least, if the cost of sugar is reduced, most Kenyans will have something to put on their table. However, I am encouraging us to go beyond sugar and consider other basic necessities like unga and cooking fat. With those few remarks, I support the Motion."
