"content": "This Government was elected by the people of Kenya to serve Kenyans. How come when an issue is touching maize farmers it is turned to be a local problem to be resolved by Sen. (Prof.) Kamar, Sen. Murkomen, Sen. Cheragei or whoever else? However, when it comes to other sectors of the economy and farming, it is a problem of the Ministry and the Government of Kenya. Is there another President for North Rift? Madam Deputy Speaker, we want to be treated like any other part of the country in terms of protection of farmers. We want the Ministry to explain why despite the fact that they used to blame all these other people, now that they have a proper hold of the Ministry itself, how come the fertilizer prices have gone higher instead of coming low? The people of Rift Valley are crying for the days of President Mwai Kibaki and William Ruto as his Minister, when the prices for fertilizer were Kshs1,800. However, now we are talking about fertilizer prices that are between Kshs4,000, Kshs5,000. This is terrible. Madam Deputy Speaker, I hope the Chairperson of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries will come with a good answer. He must work with the Chair of Agriculture Committee of the National Assembly in finding an answer to this problem."
