    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I just want to ask one question concerning my County, Siaya. We have a rice plant between Busia and Siaya, but the plant is within Siaya County. This is a new plant. It has been constructed and completed and the farmers have just harvested a lot of rice. The rice paddy is dry and there are thousands of bags. I went there and witnessed the desperation of farmers. The mill cannot be opened, yet it is complete. The farmers now risk losing that crop or they take it to Uganda for milling, which is very expensive. The reason the plant cannot be commissioned is that the power is there, but needs to be upgraded to three-phase. I am pleading with the Cabinet Secretary to take some action to make sure this plant is upgraded from Phase 1 to Phase 3, so that the farmers can benefit."
