    "content": "emphasize that fertilizers must be provided in a timely manner so that they may be useful to our farmers. To add on that, there is the issue of agricultural extension officers that are supposed to be offered by our county governments. When you share with our farmers back in our counties, there is always lack of extension officers who can advise them in a timely manner so that they are able to overcome challenges. Mr. Speaker, Sir, seeds are also another issue. On that one, I appreciate the Governor of Homa Bay, Hon. Gladys Wanga, who was able to provide seeds to the farmers of Homa Bay County in a timely way. The only concern I have, as someone who comes from that county, is I hope the seeds were procured and distributed to the right farmers. The issue of extension officers is an issue that our counties should take note of along with other services that are offered by agriculture and other related Ministries. These days, unlike in the past, in order to get extension or veterinary officers, our people go for people in private practice rather than those employed by the Government. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support this Statement. As I end and before I sit down, I want to be of little help to the Senator of Nandi who has a lot of difficulties on how to refer to the “Enigma” – the Azimio Leader. Instead of referring to him as the brother of Sen. (Dr.) Oburu which is a little part that interests Kenyans, I would like to help him on that. He can refer to him as the father of devolution if he wants. He can also refer to him as the “people’s president ”, the “ Enigma ” and many other adjectives."
