    "content": "Each and every citizen of this country is a tax payer. It is only proper and fair that a list of the projects being undertaken should be tabled before us so that we see whether what I am alleging to is true or not. If such evidence is produced before us and it is confirmed that there is proper distribution of resources and development in Kenya, I will issue an apology. However, as things stand, I know the truth and that is why I agree with the Statement by Sen. Wetangula that the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries must first of all address themselves to this issue because this is not the first time that such a drastic decision has been taken. I am on record in this House saying that President Kibaki in his wisdom began the fertilizer subsidy programme that saw the price of fertilizer go down in price from Kshs6,000 to Kshs2,500. It is so shameful that this administration has cancelled that programme because they believe citizens of the regions that Sen. Wetangula has mentioned do not deserve development. We must call out these things because it is shameful and embarrassing for such things to be happening in the 21st Century to citizens who voted for this administration. The Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries must give us a proper response on what informed the decision by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries and how our farmers are going to get value for their crop because there are no less Kenyans than Kenyans from other regions. I thank you."
