    "content": "Pukose (Endebess, JP): Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This Petition by Peter Chemoigut on issues pertaining to Kenya Seed Company is a weighty matter. Kenya Seed Company Headquarters is apparently in Trans Nzoia County and the Elgon Downs and the seed dryers are within Endebess Constituency. Most seeds are grown within the ADC farms which are within my constituency. This is a matter that is in the hearts of the people of Trans Nzoia. Apparently, the Committee needs to fast-track this Petition and make sure that these issues that have been raised are speedily addressed. As we speak today, Kenya Seed Company does not have a board of directors. One of the major shareholders called Mr. Nathaniel Tum was sidelined by the Cabinet Secretary in appointing the board of directors. It is an issue to do with food security. It is one of the four issues that the President raised as an agenda to address in his last term of his presidency. We should treat the matter of Kenya seed Company as a priority. I think we were with the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture over lunch time and I hope he is listening. I can see he is here. This is a matter that you need to follow up especially, the Members of Parliament from those areas. I want to be part of that team to listen to it because it directly affects my constituents. Thank you."
