    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I would like to take this opportunity to support the Petition by Hon. Muthomi Njuki on the waiver of debts owed by the Meru South SACCO. I would like to remind this House that during the Coalition Government, the SACCOs of Kirinyaga got a waiver of about Kshs1billion, but so far about Kshs300 million has not been availed to farmers. Farmers have continued to suffer because the banks which gave them loans cannot release their titles. On the same note, two factories from Kirinyaga County; Kainamoi factory in Ngariama and Kianderi factory in Kirinyaga Central sold their coffee through the Kenya Planters Cooperative Union (KPCU) in 2008. So far, they have lost Kshs16 million and they are yet to be paid their dues. I support this Petition because farmers have continued to suffer in the hands of the people who are supposed to protect them. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
