    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I also rise to support the Chairman, Budget and Appropriations Committee on this particular amendment. Post-harvest losses have been a big challenge to our farmers, coming from that particular region. Ever since we started the issue of subsidised fertiliser and subsidised farm inputs, we have realised a reduction in import bill for the basic food, that is, Ugali that requires the use of maize. This direction is quite encouraging. I need to follow up by saying that post-harvest challenges are not only about aspects of storage, but also about market. We need to ask my Chairman from the Budget and Appropriations Committee to consider looking at a way of resourcing the budgets of the same, so as to stabilise the price and encourage the farmer. Lastly is on the issue of resettlement. As we talk of the resettlement of the people of Naivasha, let us also think about the landless people in the Mau areas who were evicted, like the people in Serengoni, Nandi County. This will enable us address the issue adequately and conclusively. Thank you."
