    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. Yes, I have a burning issue. On 15th of October, I received a response from the Departmental Committee on Trade, Industry and Co-operatives on a request for a statement that I had directed to them on the looming crisis on the rice industry in Mwea. During that time, the discussion ended with the Chair saying that the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) will buy rice from Mwea. Hon. Speaker, the looming crisis that I talked about then is now with us. Our societies are full with rice. They do not have money to buy any more rice from farmers and yet, we have a bumper harvest of rice in Mwea. The boards do not know where to take this rice. Hon. Speaker, I am seeking your indulgence for the Departmental Committee on Trade, Industry and Co-operatives to summon NCPB next week so that we can discuss this issue. Otherwise, our farmers are suffering back home and that is why I am seeking your indulgence on this particular matter."
