    "content": "does not affect anybody's health. Even matatus get accidents. Having said that, this Petition is very timely and I even have a question on the same. The people from Igembe North, South, Central and some parts of Imenti are suffering because this is the most income-generating crop. The markets have been closed. Some counties are closing the same because of the views of my brother from Ndaragwa. However, be informed that this is a cash crop like any other. The President assented to it in 2016 and it is just like sugar-cane or any other crop. Therefore, if we have to tame the situation, we have to tame the people who misuse or who are not doing it properly, but not to condemn the crop. This is because the crop is there and those are the sentiments that are making other counties close the markets. We are seeking the Government to intervene and have the markets open so that people do not suffer. Instead of killing people now, we will be creating thieves and destitutes if the crop does not get a proper market."
