    "content": "We campaigned on the platform of guaranteed minimum returns. The issue is to protect our local farmers and industries. We have been saying “Buy Kenya, Build Kenya”. I can testify before any group of people or committee that, indeed, we have enough maize in the North Rift and Bungoma. Personally, I have 2,500 bags of maize in my store. The only available market for this maize is boarding schools and middlemen who come to buy in gorogoros in small scale. Traditionally, farmers have sold their maize to the National Cereals and Produce Board. Today, this Government entity is closed. When somebody turns and says that farmers are hoarding maize, I feel like I should cry. I feel like we have people who are completely detached from the reality. When I stand here, there is one thing that I would never do. I appreciate the efforts of the Government of Kenya, led by our President William Ruto, to improve the lives of every single citizen of this country. I will always assist him by not being a Chester in the Royal Kraal. I will always say we are naked as a Government. I will never mislead the Government by saying that we are not naked when we are naked."
