    "content": "did not do their homework, and particularly, in the Ministry. The recommendation by the Committee is very clear that the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, within three months, should come up with a report and tell us exactly what happened. We oversight the Ministry and there is no doubt that there is a problem. As stated by the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock, the auditors should also conduct an audit of the maize flour program. That way, we will see whether the resources were used properly or not. As mentioned by the previous speaker, something must have happened because this was the time we were going to elections. They may have found a loophole to get money from the Government to do things that are not right. There was also a preference of the millers, as stated by the Chairman. They preferred certain millers and, therefore, we need to test the integrity of the Ministry on the whole exercise. People are looking at us to find out whether what the Ministry did is the right thing or not. I am concerned about the consumers because maize flour is the main ingredient of the real meal that we eat every time. I also eat it every time. Anybody who says they have not eaten; means they have not eaten ugali . We want it to be as recommended; a two-kilogramme packet of maize flour for Ksh100. When you go out there, you may find it is not. The whole exercise is as explained by my Chair here. We need to look at it very critically, and come up with solutions on what happened in that case. I support the Report and look forward to getting a proper one from the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock. I support the Motion."
