    "content": "Nyandarua County is very strategic. There are many people who would want to access the market in Nairobi City County, Nakuru and other parts of the country. We want to create easy access to markets. So, we must allow infrastructure to co-exist with wildlife. Mr. Speaker, Sir, NEMA should stop activism at the expense of the livelihoods of the people and the economy of Nyandarua. A farmer suffers the most in this country. They could be potato, maize, cashew nuts, sugarcane or coffee farmers. Farmers continue to be frustrated when we do not allow them to have access to good markets like the ones in Nairobi City County to sell their produce. It is high time we put in place protection mechanisms. It is a distasteful attitude towards the farmer. Despite the high cost of inputs, farmers in Nyandarua and Nandi buy fertilizers at Kshs7000 per bag and still go to farm because of patriotism. It is unfortunate that NEMA, which prides itself in compliance, can lie to the country that EIA does not allow the road to pass through."
