    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a petition to the Senate concerning the plight of seed farmers in Trans-Nzoia County and lack of support by the Government resulting to psychological torture due to deficits and losses the farmers incur every other time. We, the undersigned citizens of the Republic of Kenya and residents of Trans- Nzoia County representing 200 seed farmers, draw the attention of the Senate to the following- (a) That Kenya Seed Company Limited is the main seed producer in East and Central Africa. (b) That 99 percent of the seeds are planted by 200 seed farmers who then supply the Kenya Seed Company for commercial farmers to buy and plant for consumption and otherwise. (c) That the Trans-Nzoia Seed Farmers Association was formed to champion the seed famers needs to the Kenya Seed Company and look at how to improve their operations for quality production. (d) That without seed production in Kenya, there will be no commercial production of maize in East and Central Africa. (e) That the last comprehensive review of seed prices by Kenya Seed Company was done more than seven years ago"
