    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. I would like to comment on the issue of subsidized fertilizer. Several weeks ago, the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries held a public participation tour in the western part of the Republic. We made a surprise visit to Bungoma National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) where we found only nine bags of fertilizer for planting. This is after the residents of Bungoma were up in arms in Bungoma Town, Webuye, Kimaeti and all the other distribution centres complaining of lack of enough fertilizer for planting. A phone call was made to the managing director who assured the people of Bungoma that in one or two weeks, we would have 40,000 bags, and at the end of the month, we would have 100 bags of planting fertilizer. To date, this is still a fairytale. The time is up for these people to pull up their socks or ship out. We cannot afford to go back to the days when people matched on the streets with cooking equipment, purportedly seeking rain to come down and shower crops."
