"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock regarding the critical shortage of maize seeds in the North Rift Region. Hon. Speaker, maize is the main staple food in the country, accounting for a significant portion of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The maize subsector not only fuels economic growth through foreign exchange earnings but also serves as a vital source of income, employment and sustenance for countless families. Unfortunately, the North Rift, a pivotal grain-producing region, is currently experiencing severe scarcity of maize seeds. Despite favourable weather conditions, thousands of farmers do not have any maize seeds to plant for the season. This shortage, coupled with pre-existing challenges in fertiliser availability, threatens to force farmers into utilising subpar and uncertified seeds, jeopardising both production levels and food security across the nation, and the livelihood of farmers in the North Rift Region. Hon. Speaker, it is against this background that I request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock on the following: a) Can a report be provided on the current maize seed shortage situation in the country? The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor"
