    "content": " Thank you. I was only trying to caution that, possibly, you have looked at the details to ensure that the bad effects are not captured in the Bill and that everything is taken care of. If you give too much room to the CS to make regulations, then those regulations may be too harmful to the crop whose farming you want to encourage. Even though we are discussing bixa, we are also talking about other crops. You saw last night in the news that farmers in Nakuru are being directed not to plant maize in an area where they only rely on maize. You wonder whether the Government is going to feed them. In the same Statement, they did not provide details. How many bags of maize for the whole year will be provided to the families? They are being directed not to plant maize, which is quite unfair. I condemn it in this Sitting. I found it to be unreasonable. We are exposing them to famine this year and next year. The Government must be reasonable in its directives. Go and provide security. We do not discourage people from making livelihoods. They must survive; they must get a source of income. You see a whole Regional Commissioner directing that there is not going to be maize planting in the region. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
