"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, fertilizer is very expensive. We know that countries like Bangladesh have a form of fertilizer that does not need to use as much as we are using. In fact, it does not deplete the soil. This knowledge is around, but we have not done very much, because we really slept on the job. But at the moment, with this kind of legislation coming up now â this Motion â it should be understood that we do know these things. There is a problem of financing. Regarding the issue of aflatoxin, this morning one Member suggested that driers could have been bought before. But the manner in which the Government finances work is that had anyone asked for driers before there was a disaster, he or she would have been laughed out of town. That is the truth. We have now asked for funds given the disaster we have. I keep saying âwe have askedâ because we do not control the budget that we get. I just think the hon. Members have to be commended for taking a strong stand on how we feed our nation. We rely on you to work with us openly to try and see what we can do for this country."
