"content": "As a farmer, I want to know the exact tonnes of fertilizer that were imported by National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB), which was my employer in the early 1990s. We want fertilizer to be given out to farmers across the year because there are farmers who grow potatoes whose season is throughout the year. We also have coffee and tea. This is so that they do not import only during the maize season. As we talk about maize, I urge and ask the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development and NCPB to open the depots because we have already started harvesting. We request that they buy the maize at minimum Kshs4,000 because the cost of production is over Kshs3,000. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the final Statement is on the elections of FKF. In the past, most of the senior chairs and the presidents who are running these organizations, especially Athletics Kenya and football were not former sportsmen or women. The business is just to mismanage, frustrate our sports people, especially football. When the elections will be conducted, we ask the footballers and also athletes to elect those who have their interest at heart and not those who want to continue with the corruption in those particular areas. I rest my case there and ask the Cabinet Secretary for Youth Affairs, Creative Economy and Sports, who is my former Senator, to ensure these two organizations are streamlined."
