    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will comment on the Statement of Sen. Richard Onyonka on the issue of ADC. I will also seek further clarification on this matter with regard to the acreage that is still with ADC because we are aware there was some in Nandi County and across most of our agricultural areas. In Trans Nzoia, we have a huge tract of land that is being leased out to propagate seeds. It was sad that during this planting season maize farmers had insufficient seeds to plant maize during this season. We, therefore, want to know what is happening at ADC because they are running on red. We are going to another planting season because of the short rains. The propagation of seeds by ADC, Kenya Seed Company and other farms that are being run must be known. Secondly, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to know the management of ADC and its own-source revenue. We are aware they are leasing their one acre at Kshs200. This affects the revenue streams of ADC. Where I come from and even where Sen. Ledama comes from in Narok - I am happy that now he is part of the Government’s delegation on international engagements - leasing an acre is at Kshs4,000. When you go to Nandi and Uasin Gishu counties, you lease land at between Kshs5,000 to 10,000. However, when you lease land from ADC, it is only Kshs200. We must invite ADC to tell us what they are doing, so that they do not appear in the red. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in line with Sen. Sifuna's Statement on grabbing, the problem in this country is that we have a disease called grabiosis . I do not know why somebody The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
