    "content": "maize harvest right now, but we are frustrating the same farmers by telling them that we are not going to buy their maize, and we are going to import from an unknown place. Hon. Speaker, Kenyans are dying of hunger in the North Eastern Region and in many other parts of the country. We also have a lot of donor funds which have come into the country to help the people who are starving. Why can we not use that money to mop up all the maize in the North Rift Region and ensure that farmers get money? I applaud the position taken by the Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture and Livestock Development and ask him to continue engaging with the farmers and encourage them so that in future, we do not have any Kenyan dying of hunger. Hon. Speaker, you mentioned the issue of amending the Standing Orders so that Cabinet Secretaries can appear before the House and answer questions from the Members. Sometimes I do not understand that part because Article 153(3) of the Constitution provides expressly that Cabinet Secretaries must appear before the House to answer questions."
