    "content": "(CECMs) in determining appropriate areas for the establishment of local, regional and international markets.” The Chinese and all those in the Indian areas consume these things seriously. So, you can imagine the market and the production from where is organized so that it is targeted at Chinese market. How many peasant farmers will start earning good money for the efforts they make? Madam Temporary Speaker, this is a good Bill and it is very well thought out. I urge Members of the Senate that we pass it with a philosophical background that indeed we are now fighting for our counties. The counties that have never benefited from the national Government; the counties that have always been left behind. We have always been thought of as counties that receive relief. This must come to an end. We must not be thought as those counties that cannot produce. Just because our climatic areas are not cold, does not mean we cannot produce crops; we can. All we require is support from the national Government and those policymakers who are listening to us must hear. The Senate is saying that this change of mind must happen. We must produce in our minds another hormone that says even in those areas that are dry, we can produce and make a lot of money if supported by the national Government. What has been going on is wrong. We have been segregated and left behind. People have had access to funding to grow their areas which we have not had. This Bill is one step to address those injustices that have been happening since independence. I congratulate my neighbour, Sen. Wambua for this Bill. I pray that all of us will stand to support and pass this Bill as soon as possible. I thank you."
