    "content": " Thank you Hon. Speaker. I support the Petitioners of Livestock Producers of Kiambu. Despite the fact that this country is rich agriculturally, we have done poorly in protecting our farmers. Hon. Speaker, expect many more petitions coming your way because we have left farmers on their own. How many times have we complained that eggs from South Africa are cheaper than our local eggs? How many times have we complained that tilapia fish from China is cheaper than that from Lake Victoria? How many times have we complained that sugar from Uganda and Brazil is cheaper than that produced in this country? Therefore, fuel is an enabler of all these agricultural businesses and, as long as it keeps increasing in price, we will not support our farmers. So, Kenya will no longer be an agricultural country. On the other two petitions, I am a ranking member of the Departmental Committee on Lands and I will look at them accordingly at that level. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
