    "content": "Mr. Speaker Sir, maybe you can organize for us mileage allowance and I am willing to take him around the boundaries between Nandi and Vihiga counties. However, some of us do not have the mentality of expansionism because we respect the boundaries. The biggest challenge is the aspect of distribution. Today at around midday, I received a Short Message Service (SMS) from a ward farmer in Selia NCPB. They are repackaging over 200 bags of Di-ammonium Phosphate (DAP) fertilizer, reducing to 30 kilogrammes from the initial 40 kgs. They are giving us 23kgs each instead of Yara supply and others, which does not match the component of soil acidity. I appeal to the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, that the fertilizer component is insufficient. Therefore, it is not so good for our soil. This is especially in areas such Kakamega, Trans Nzoia, Bungoma, parts of Kisii, Nandi and Uasin Gishu counties, where they plant maize. However, there is ongoing corruption. I call upon the purchase of the Kenya National Trading Company (KNTC). This is in terms of purchasing the distribution of fertilizer under the Ministry of Trade, Investments and Industry, which must be looked into and made transparent. Finally, I appeal to county governments to pay the 3,500 farmers. There is nothing but drama that is going on in Nandi County Government. I appeal to counties to create their own local centres. For example, local centres can be created in Kaiboi, Kemeloi- Maraba and Ngechek trading centres. These are small trading centres within Nandi County, where the county government can be fair and create holding rooms where farmers can pick fertilizer. One local centre can also be created in Chemase or Awasi on the border of Kisumu and Nandi counties. Both cane and tea farmers need subsidized fertilizers. In conclusion, for us who are Christians, the Bible says that God helps those who help themselves. Sen. (Dr.) Oburu says that the Government should assist in land preparation and buying seeds and fertilizer. You might end up calling the Government to your bedroom to assist you in siring your children."
