    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, because we learn every day, and I have seen my friend, the former Senator, now Cabinet Secretary, hon. Linturi, struggling with value addition in Kiswahili, it is called kuongeza thamana. I thank the Cabinet Secretary for his response to the question by Sen. (Prof.) Tom Odhiambo Ojienda. I know that Sen. (Prof.) Tom Odhiambo Ojienda has said that he is satisfied. However, I have a supplementary question relating to a good promise that the President pronounced himself on. On 1st July, during the Ushirika Day Celebrations at The Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) last year, the President committed, on record that the Government was going to be confronting the predatory cartels in the agriculture sector who have been exploiting farmers. There was a clear direction on which way to go in terms of dealing with these cartels, especially now that many farmers are getting their crops out of the farms. Three ways were given. One, the President committed to working with county governments to secure farmers' crops from exploitation by cartels. There was a commitment to get foreign markets for our farm produce and a commitment to what my brother was struggling with, to do value addition. So, the benefit goes back to the farmers."
