    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries on failure to compensate farmers in Embu County from losses incurred when desert locusts invaded their farms in the year 2020. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Outline the estimated value of the loss that farmers in Embu incurred when desert locusts invaded their farms in the year 2020. (2) Explain any measures the Government took to mitigate the historic locust plague, the largest in 70 years and give the total amount of money spent on such mitigation measures. (3) State how much of this money went directly to farmers in Embu County, detailing who the beneficiaries were and what the Government intends to do about the continued outcry by farmers in Embu that no compensation was given despite repeated promises by senior Government officials in the Ministry of Agriculture. I thank you."
