    "content": "properly thought out or it is too expensive for the administration. It is something that we urge them to reconsider. Can they collaborate with county governments, so that these products are taken to the final or the closest door steps to many of our farmers, at least at sub-county level? As many of our colleagues have observed it, there are farmers who have to travel far distances, to collect two, three, four or five bags of fertilizes; such that at the end of the day, they end up spending money, which they would have otherwise saved. Nonetheless, I appreciate and celebrate the fact that colleague Senators are paying keen interest in this particular programme. I agree with the sentiments of Sen. Mwaruma of TaitaTaveta, who urged the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, to not only consider what has been spoken by our colleague the Senator for Laikipia, demanding for answers for Laikipia County. Let them give us a holistic answer of what has been done in each county of this Republic. Our farmers need to reap the full benefit of this progrmmme because this is a programme being ran for all the farmers of Kenya, whether known or unknown for one reason or the other. I heard someone contribute that there is what they consider standard food and then there are some who are producing things that are close to food but are not food. A farmer is a farmer. This is about production. This is about ensuring that at the end of the day, in the fullness of time and by end of one year in office of this administration, farmers will be able to buy unga cheaply. Forget about those fake programmes that used to run under the ‘handshake’ administration. We used to walk around the country asking about the Kshs100 unga, you see the defenders of the millers up in arms."
