"content": "I know Tanzania very well. They have a lot of miraa around Tanga but they have not given us a chance to sell our miraa there. Therefore, I expect the team that will be picked to be able to negotiate on behalf of farmers and traders in Meru, so that we can have a chance to sell our ‘green gold’ there. Hon. Deputy Speaker, Igembe Central has not been represented properly. Electricity connectivity is about 30 per cent. Not a single kilometre of tarmac has been done for the last 10 years. As our President said the other day, we are giving subsidy to production and not consumption. Right now, there is a strong famine. We expect to see the Government deliver seeds as we look forward to receive rains in October, so that we in future, do not go back looking for famine relief food. We are receiving famine relief food which is bought at billions of shillings. I believe the harvest would not be at that cost if that money was diverted to bring in seeds. The harvest could not be worth that cost. It would be of great benefit to the people of Meru and Igembe in particular."
