"content": "is a shortage of milk in this country. This leaves me wondering what is happening to the parastatals that are supposed to be supportive of this sector. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have a serious issue. The Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock, in which I also sit, should have a different approach with a view of coming up with solutions that can help streamline the Ministry of Agriculture. What is happening at our research centres? Nothing! Some of them have closed down. For example, the research centre at Bukura Irrigation Scheme in Western Kenya is dead. When I was in Standard Two, I used to see extension service officers from the Ministry of Agriculture going round helping farmers to improve their methodology of planting maize, potatoes and other crops. Today, there is nothing like that. We have even devolved agriculture to the counties and I see nothing happening. I had a particular issue with extension services in my county."
