"content": "Mwea have no title deeds. Therefore, they cannot go to banks to get finances. They rely on the two co-operative societies. If the two co-operative societies close down, the whole industry of rice farming in Mwea, which is the largest scheme in this country, will be affected. I know there are people who will be very happy with such a development because it will create an avenue for importing cheap and substandard rice into the country. I thank the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock and the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries. They have put in a lot of effort to increase rice production in the country thus, saving the country a lot of foreign exchange that would have gone towards importation of rice. If that directive is not fully implemented, it means people will turn back to importation. People will exploit that gap and a lot of foreign exchange will be lost."
