Why our MPs can’t be trusted with probes on crucial national matters

The investigation by the Joint Committee of the National Assembly on contraband sugar and the failed consequent report was a rather expensive opportunity down the drain to address legacy issues around the sugar ecosystem.

By default or design, the Kanini Kega and Adan Haji led Joint Committee Report was a dud dead on arrival – a product of faceless Machiavellianism, shambolically done and inconsistent in content. The report failed to deal with a few fundamental issues that would have addressed intrinsic issues affecting the sugar industry.
