In the Statement, the Committee should – (1) Indicate the type of maize seeds distributed and being sold to famers by County, stating the yield per type and table a quality assessment report of the seeds. (2) Investigate claims of influx of fake seeds in the market which are being sold by unscrupulous individuals to famers in Bomet, parts of Kericho and Narok Counties resulting in poor harvest affecting the income and livelihoods for many families. (3) State measures being taken to bring to book the unscrupulous individuals selling counterfeit seeds to famers and prevent recurrence of the same in future. (4) The Committee should recommend overseeable measures to compensate the affected famers in Bomet, parts of Kericho and Narok counties. (5) Calls the Agricultural Research Institute to publish and provide agricultural extension officers to educate famers on the appropriate seeds according to soil pH and climate condition to be planted in these counties. Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir."
