    "content": "recommended that this amount should be put in the subsequent national budget because some of the millers are collapsing as a result of debts they are unable to pay. Further, 82.17 per cent of the total maize flour that was produced under the Subsidy Programme by CMA could not be traced to the consumers based on the distribution channels, despite passing through the normal distribution channels. The Committee recommends that the DCI conducts an investigation into this mater and present their findings to the National Assembly within three months of the adoption of this Report by the House. The National Assembly will make recommendations on whether or not the money owed to CMA should be paid, and whether to ratify or regularise payments made to the association through use of Article 223 of the Constitution or not. We also recommend that the independent millers who participated in that programme be investigated by the DCI to find out why they participated without going through an association if they ever milled any maize flour at all, and what processes they passed the maize flour through. This will help us regularise the payments that were made through Article 223 of the Constitution. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I thank the Offices of the Speaker and the Clerk of the National Assembly for the logistical support they accorded to this Committee during its many days sittings and travels across the country to collect this information and produce a Report. The Committee further wishes to thank the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development, the CMA, the GMOA and the independent millers for making this inquiry feasible through their submissions. Finally, I express my appreciation to Members of the Committee on Agriculture and Livestock for the work they have done to come up with this Report. With those few remarks, I wish to move that this House adopts the Report and call upon my Vice-Chairman, Hon. Brighton Yegon, Member for Konoin Constituency, to second. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
