    "content": "(i) How many deaths have been occasioned from eating the contaminated maize and which districts have recorded these deaths? (ii) I would like the Minister to explain to the nation why the Government asked farmers not to sell the maize crop to middle men proceeding to delays in purchasing and later declining to buy the alleged maize on the price which was set there before of Kshs2,300 to a price of Kshs1,500 and Kshs1,000, respectively. (iii) I would like the Minister to tell the House and the nation at large what action the Ministry is taking to compensate farmers and victims of the poisoned maize who some are in hospital and others have died? (iv) I would also like the Minister to tell us what measures is the Government going to institute to address issues of post-harvest handling in order to mitigate loses? (v) I would like the Minister to tell the House what the Government is going to do to cushion farmers who, as evident, have incurred a lot of losses given that they had to pay for seeds, fertilizer and labour to produce these maize taking into account that they have reduced the price and yet the initial price was Kshs2,300? We would like the Ministry and the Government to consider reinstating these prices so as to cushion the farmers. Thank you."
