    "content": "But, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the Government of Kenya has a few things that it needs to address as we go out to our constituencies. An earlier speaker has addressed the issue of the farmers. When the Minister for Finance was presenting the Supplementary Budget, I did not hear him mentioning anything to do with dairy farming. We expected him to bring in the issue of cushioning the New Kenya Co-operative Creameries (KCC) in as far as the purchase of milk is concerned. In some of the areas where we come from, we need fertilizer. We did not get it clear whether the Minister will consider providing some of these dry areas with subsidized fertilizer. The Minister for Agriculture promised farmers that they will get subsidized fertilizer but we have not seen it. We would adequately be feeding our country if the Minister for Agriculture at least addressed the shortcomings and the needs of our people across the country. As we go back to our constituencies, these farm implements are required during these long rains. We need Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN) fertilizer for topping up. We need to address these issues adequately as we go on talking about getting food security. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think we have a few others who would want to contribute. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
