    "content": "Livestock and Fisheries, he submitted that our food security is still stable. That was a very important point for him to make. The 2019 long and short rains resulted in the production of 43.3 million 90 kg bags of maize, which was a slight decline from 2018 which was 44.5 million. However, production of other food staples remained normal. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I urge Sen. (Dr.) Zani not to leave because she is the one who will second. Even if she seconds for a few minutes as we wait for 6.30 p.m., when we come back she will have an hour on this. She will have internalized. She is one of those who are so thorough maybe owing to her academic background. She is very thorough and I am glad she is listening. We also received the food balance sheet which we have tabled in this House. It is very important for Kenyans to know. It gives us estimates of our stocks, harvests and projections, the post-harvest loss is now at 12 per cent. The forecast balances as at 30th June, 2020 we will confirm if that is what it is. On commodity prices, the Cabinet Secretary as well has submitted what the commodity prices were. The maize was ranging from Kshs2,750 to 3,200 per 90- kilogram bag. Maize flour had come down to another Kshs126. There are many factors including the cost of fuel that has gone down since the pandemic started, transportation et cetera ."
