    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, on the Motion at hand, we are also experiencing the same problem in Laikipia County though it is not as severe as it is in northern Kenya. We have plenty of crops but we also have problems. Like my counterpart the Member for Laikipia East, Hon. Mwangi Kiunjuri has said, we have conflict between the wildlife and the people. I want this Government to address that situation because if the little crops we have are conserved, they can be of help in other areas facing drought. The other thing I would like to address is that there is a difficult cycle in our area. Whenever we start planting, the prices of seeds and fertilisers go up. However, when it is harvesting season – like now we plan to start harvesting starting from this month to next month – the prices of farm produce go down. We ask the Government to intervene. There was the promise that the prices of farm produce would be looked at. I pray that we will fulfil that. Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker.
