"content": "whenever maize farmers speak, you must support us because we are in the same boat. As cereal farmers, we must agree. We are suffering because we did not get the correct pricing in maize of Kshs4,000. The sad reality of maize is that we sell in 90 kilogrammes while wheat is being sold in 50 kilogrammes. I stand with the wheat farmers in Narok County. I know they caused a lot of traffic jam yesterday. I was worried for our colleague, Sen. Ledama. However, I am happy he managed to pull through. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we must stop this. The Kenya National Trading Corporation (KNTC) and Agriculture and Food Authority (AFA) must be called out. Who authorized importation of sugar, rice and maize, yet we are in the harvesting season? This gazette notice must be degazetted by the Ministry of the National Treasury and Economic Planning. We expect Hon. Mbadi to do better by revoking most of those gazette notices. It is good that Sen. Sifuna is here. He should advise him accordingly. When we are in the harvesting season of maize or any other produce, we must stop importation. Finally, food security is a threat. We get subsidised fertiliser at Kshs2,500, but the cost of seeds that are supposed be used to plant in this season is very high. We, therefore, ask the new Chairman of the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, Sen. Wakoli, who has taken over, to review so that we can protect our food security. How can you buy two kilogrammes of seeds at Kshs700? How many Kenyans can afford that? Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish the wheat farmers all the best. They have our unconditional support. I support the statement."

This is an illness like any other. I request that whoever will deal with this statement to come up with a strategic plan. Counties must have centres for counselling such patients. These patients should be taken with kindness. They should not be discriminated against either by family members or society in general. There are so many people who are walking normally, but they are suffering mentally. Many of them are onfined by their relatives in their homes. They cannot come out and say that they are suffering mentally because they do not know whether they are suffering or not. Some ofthem are afraid of discrimination. We should have funds set The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
