    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for a long time, farmers have been left in the periphery. Decisions have been made in Nairobi and have been implemented down there. However, with a transformative bottom-up economic approach, farmers are now participating in a collaborative manner by being engaged so that they become decision-makers for the decisions that will influence them. Additionally, we have seen the Kenya-Kwanza Government strengthen the cooperative movement through its leadership. That will ensure that farmers are able to reap from their collective bargain by ensuring that they pull together their resources so that they can make better bargains and also achieve economies of scale. Finally, we have also seen that the Government has endeavored to bring an affordable subsidised fertilizer, though there are some people who have tried to abuse the mechanism. It has indeed improved the yield, and that is evidently clear. We can see that from the previous harvests. We have had better yield and of better quality. Most importantly, the farmers have been able to increase their income. I support. Thank you."
