    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to congratulate Sen. Mwaruma for the Statement he made on behalf of Sen. Ogola. On this business of homosexuality, people must know that for that reason alone, we can go and close Kakuma Camp. There is no single African community that promotes homosexuality. In fact, in all African communities, there are only two sexes; a man and a woman. What is more, is that our Constitution, in Article 45(1) and (2), states that- “(1) The family is a natural and fundamental unit of society and the necessary basis for social order, and shall enjoy the recognition and protection of the state “(2) Every adult has the right to marry a person of the opposite sex, based on free consent of the parties” We are not going to be belittled simply because we are not as rich as those people who robbed our African wealth to become richer than us. In fact, people of Ikolomani, Kakamega, Nyatike in Migori and Ghana are at war. When you go to the House of Lords, you see a 20-feet high throne on which the King sits, made of pure gold that was mined from Ikolomani, Ghana and Nyatike. They owe us the riches they speak to have. I, therefore, wish to condemn that practice in Kakuma and appeal to the Head of State, who has no time for homosexuality, to ensure that order is brought in Kakuma. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, finally, I would like to comment on the Statement by Sen. Chesang about the cost of maize. It does not matter what the Government will do. All we are asking for as representatives of the farmers of Lugari and Likuyani in Kakamega, Bungoma, Trans Nzoia and Uasin Gishu is that whatever price maize is going to be sold by the farmers should guarantee them minimum return on their investment. I have heard the Senator of Siaya speak about subsidies. This thing can be worked out. It is possible for all our farmers to be helped to sell their maize to the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) and be given a guarantee of minimum return. What the Government does ---"
