    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I have just come from a press conference with the President where he explained the measures his Government has taken to support farmers. Today, we agreed with the governors that we would partner to have proper last-mile delivery of fertilizers. The governors will provide us with warehouses or stores where we will store fertilizer to eradicate the problem the Member for Imenti Central talked about. Farmers will not have to travel for many kilometres to go and pick two or three bags of fertilizer. We have agreed and are working on an arrangement on how that will be done. As we will be distributing the cotton seeds for planting, all the members registered in our system will also get their fertilizer through the e- voucher system in place. So, we are prepared and ready. Since yesterday, the cost of fertilizer has gone down. We are now selling fertilizer at Khs2,500. Because we are getting into the short rains season, the collaboration I am requesting will enable us to work together to ensure that the fertilizer gets to our farmers in those regions so that they start planting early enough and get increased yields. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
