    "content": "When the level of cost of fertilizer hits that high, who will save and cushion the farmer? It means that the farmer is now left at the vagaries of the millers who in a feat of magnanimity and generosity, advance fertilizer to the farmers. You will find that the unscrupulous ones who advance fertilizer to the farmers when it was costing Kshs2,800, will now start billing the farmers the Kshs6,800 because that is the new price. The regulator must deal with this. However, in the long run, I want to assure the sugarcane farmers that the Kenya Kwanza Government that is coming into power in the next four months will never allow such reckless management of the sector. It will never allow such runaway prices in such a critical sector for such a critical commodity. This is because when prices rise to that level, a responsible Government will create a subsidy, cushion the farmers and absorb the excess. In any case, this hogwash of telling Kenyans that it is because of the war in Ukraine that fertilizer price has shot to that level, is absolutely nonsensical because it is not true. We know it as such. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you represent farmers and you know it. We get our fertilizer largely from petrochemical companies in Middle East and not in Ukraine. So,"
