    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I will comment on Petition number one by farmers of Kiambu. We are staring at imminent collapse of the dairy industry, the poultry industry, the piggery and even fishing. This is a threat to the national food security and these commercial enterprises. In fact, it is citing the current challenges. It is not just the cost of the products, but availability. You must import the raw products to prepare the various feeds and there are barriers when it comes to importation. Hon. Speaker, I would request and seek your indulgence because this is about saving the country and the food security that this Petition be concluded in a shorter period than 60 days and, as has been proposed, we have the Report in the House so that we debate and have proper recommendations. It might require, beyond the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock, the Departmental Committee on Trade, Industry and Co-operatives and others so that we can save our farmers. Most of us in the House are farmers here and even to get a simple component like maize germ, you have to wait for it to be imported by the dealers from Zambia. This is a serious matter. Hon. Speaker, give due direction!"
