    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Sen. Joe Nyutu is your Senator. I am sure that he would not want to give you a title that does not belong to you. I rise to comment on these two Statements that have been sought by my neighbour and colleague, Sen. Joe Nyutu. I shall start with the first on Murang’a County Creameries. Those of us who come from agricultural counties are strongly opined and believe that the breakthrough for our farmers shall come when we start processing our produce. As it is the case for Nyandarua County, which is the leading producer of potatoes in the Republic, we look forward to having the Nyandarua County Government doing a potato processing plant in the potato growing areas. It is such a sad state of affairs that this landmark government entity in Murang’a County, which we all feel proud of because it came at a point where milk was being bought at low prices and it injected the market and the processing of milk. The people of Murang’a County have been big beneficiaries from it. It will not and should not collapse. I want to believe because the Committee you commit this to will bring the answers. I hope that the creamery did not collapse because of the Governor who launched it left. There must be continuity of service. Taxpayers’ money has been used. Sen. Sifuna and I sit in the Senate Public Accounts Committee (PAC), and we always insist that there is perpetuity of offices. It cannot be that when a Governor leaves, he does so with his legacy and dreams and the public money has been spent. This matter is not for the Murang’a County Government alone. The creamery affects the prices of milk in the entire region, Nyandarua County, the leading producer of milk, Kiambu"
