• 6 Apr 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to inform my good friend, Sen. Omogeni, that the Bill has come back from the National Assembly. We are now considering the amendments they had done. view
• 6 Apr 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. As I second this Bill, I have to own up that I have just picked it up from the Clerks’ Table. Therefore, I was just perusing through it to understand it. view
• 6 Apr 2022 in Senate: I can see clearly that it is the regulation for the sugar sector that comes into the fore of this Bill to provide for the development, regulation and promotion of the sugar industry. Without a doubt, the conversations around the sugar sector in this country have been something that is very alive. During the five years of this Government, it has been discussed here severally. We have listened to some of the Senators who come from these regions; I wish they were here to speak to this. They have decried the continuous lack of attention given to this sugar sector ... view

It is good when I see provisions of disputes resolutions factored into Bills in every sector. We do not have to run ... view
• 6 Apr 2022 in Senate: I have seen the licensing and registration and I like the provision under Part III, Section 20, about sugar importation and it gives the criteria on the person who imports sugar. What they have to do before the importation of the sugar. I think that is a good thing that they have to provide the evidence of the sugar that they intend to import, if it is not available in the local market, provide a sample of the same sugar, a pre-import verification certificate from the country of origin and obtain a pre-import approval from the board. We have read ... view

• 6 Apr 2022 in Senate: or to both. That is a good thing. I wish there would be a stiffer sentence on the imprisonment. We have seen what happens when people play games with our sugar and deny our local market, we see what that does to our people. It denies them their own livelihoods. I would have preferred a stiffer sentence. Persons who contravene should be asked to pay the fine and still go to jail for a considerable period so that we can deter any games that somebody may want to play when it comes to the sugar industry. The industrial sugar production ... view
