    "content": "lot of money. They will be rich people who will be able to educate their children and meet their daily basic needs. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Motion calls upon the Government to assist farmers to develop research facilities and seed production sites in the North Rift. Potatoes are grown in Chepkorio, Lelam, Nandi, some parts of western Kenya, Nyanza and the entire country. The Government should come in strongly and help those farmers. So, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Government should set aside funds for that crop. It is a very important economic base for some regions in this country. That way, Kenyans who depend on that crop will not be frustrated. They will be proud Kenyans. When they are proud, they will be happy to expand the acreage because they know that they have got good seeds which are suitable for their areas, they have got preservation facilities where during a bumper harvest, they can take their surplus crops there and preserve them for some time waiting for the prices to go up during the times of scarcity. We should also have agricultural field officers to assist them even in marketing their crop. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I will end there by urging the Government to come out very strongly to support the farmers. I request hon. David Koech, the hon. Member of Parliament for Mosop, to second this Motion. With those few remarks, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move."
