"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to assure the hon. Member that the Directors are not employees of the Pyrethrum Board of Kenya. They are Directors who are supposed to be involved in the formulation of regulations. The number of zones are not fixed but they are based on a number of factors, among them, the current production trend, the number of active growers, the geographical location and layout, the expansiveness of the area, distance, accessibility and on the homogeneity of the growers. The pyrethrum industry in Kenya is on the death bed. As a Ministry, we are doing the best we can to promote the production of pyrethrum. I want to assure the hon. Member that once the production is improved, we are going to increase the electoral zones from the current four to six within the next one year because we are determined to increase the production. We have a new factory which cannot operate because there is no production. But as a Government, I want to give an assurance to this House that I will increase the production. We are going to increase the electoral zones from the current four to six within one year."
