    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is very important that farmers are also recognized as an entity that is stabilizing the country politically, economically and socially. This is because without food, you cannot have anything. But until we recognize our farmers as an entity that stabilizes the country rather than looking at them as businessmen, we will not be able to move far. I think the Ministry of Livestock Development should be encouraged to ensure that they have a clear plan through which the farmers are recognized. They need to be given subsidies. The turnaround that a country called Malawi had a few years ago was basically because of that recognition; that a farmer is a very important person. For that reason, they ensured that their farmers were given subsidies. It is very important that these people are given subsidies so that when you have excess milk, the Government takes responsibility and uses it for whatever it should be used. So, I support what the President said; that we must bring in powder milk as part of the food security."
