    "content": "If I listened to Hon. Yusuf carefully, there are issues that touch on agriculture and, especially the import and sale of powdered milk. Hon. Deputy Speaker, kindly make it clear. Having listened to Hon. Yusuf, I believe it is a matter that touches on agriculture. In as much as powdered milk is not banned in this country, there have to be licensed importers of powdered milk. Members of Parliament who represent farmers will tell you that farmers suffer immensely when powdered milk is imported into this country illegally. The powder milk is reconstituted into liquid milk which is then sold to people. It has the effect of bringing down the price of milk. The Government has been very keen on ensuring that our milk market is not distorted by powdered milk which is being imported mostly from European countries. Therefore, as much as I sympathise with the Member for Kamukunji and the issues that have been raised touching on the police and their conduct, this is something that the Member for Kamukunji would, probably, seek a statement from the cabinet secretaries responsible. They would then be obliged to respond to the issues touching on security and dairy products respectively."
