"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand in support of Hon. David Kiplagat, the Member for Soy, in asking the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock to respond. Many maize farmers, I included, are worried about our harvest because it is bumper but prices are very low. Maize is one of the main foodstuffs in our country. As you are aware, ugali is also the staple food for my neighbours in the western region. We would like the Government, more so this House that does budgeting, to set aside a good amount of money to NCPB so that it can buy strategic maize reserves from farmers. This will help other parts of the country experiencing food shortages. If the price can go up to Ksh4,000 per bag, we will be happy and many farmers will deliver their maize to NCPB. Thank you Hon. Speaker."
