    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is my third approach to have the problems in Mwea resolved. It is a clear indicator of the urgency of the problem. I would like to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Co- operatives the following Question: - (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary explain the status of utilisation of Kshs200 million which was allocated for the purchase of rice for strategic reserves in the Financial Year 2019/20 Budget, through the Strategic Food Reserve Trust Fund? (ii) When will the Government start purchasing rice from farmers at the Mwea Irrigation Scheme for Strategic Food Reserve as was intended through the 2019/2020 Budget allocation? (iii) What policy measures has the Ministry put in place to facilitate the purchase and marketing of crops from farmers who have experienced a bumper harvest and have excess stock of the produce, in particular paddy rice farmers in Mwea Constituency, during the Financial Year 2020/21 cropping season?"
