    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is obvious that the average small scale farmer in this country cannot afford fertilizer and other inputs. Therefore, to leave farmers in a stakeholder’s forum, which I think is a chief’s forum, to identify the needy is to actually leave them to adopt opaque methods. I do not know whether the Minister is aware that in most places, the chiefs and agricultural officers handpick who to receive the fertilizers. Some of this fertilizer was actually sold by unscrupulous people. Could the Minister consider having better informed criteria of identifying beneficiaries and which is not open to abuse? Noting that the Minister spent Kshs500 million which only helped less than 50,000 farmers, could he consider studying what is happening in Malawi on subsidies and apply it here with modification? This has helped Malawi to be food sufficient."
