    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. This is a very important and timely Statement by Sen. Khaniri. When we were young, I remember well that my mother used to plant on the 15th February every year, and by the following day, there would be rains. My mother did not have any technology, but people knew and had read the weather patterns in the country. What is happening now is unfortunate. At the beginning of this month, many farmers in Kisumu County went to their fields and planted. Manure, seeds and labour are very expensive, but people went ahead and planted going by the direction that had been given by the Metrological Department. Mr. Speaker, Sir, unfortunately, the plants that tried to germinate have all dried. People are doing the second planting, and you know how difficult it is. I urge the Department to do a much better job. In the last few years, they have been trying and have been fairly accurate. This time I do not know whether they are also in the elections mood or campaigning, and that is why it is not falling in place this time. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we need to give accurate information to the people of Kenya and the farmers, so that we do not have double loss the way it has happened this year."
