    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture and Livestock Development the following Question: Could the Cabinet Secretary- (a) outline the steps that the Government is taking to support local companies to produce and supply BT Cotton seeds to farmers in order to mitigate the high prices associated with monopoly of supply by a single source? (b) enumerate the measures put in place by the Ministry to address the constant price increases of BT Cotton seeds, which is straining farmers by increasing the cost of production? (c) state the viable alternatives being explored by the Ministry to address the high cost of BT Cotton production, especially for small-scale farmers who cannot afford the high cost of seeds, fertilizers and insecticides every planting season? Thank you."
