    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53 (1) to seek a statement from the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries regarding the impending dissolution of the Pyrethrum Processing Company of Kenya (PPCK), which is located in Nakuru. The PPCK owns a significant portfolio of assets, including extensive tracts of prime land and valuable properties across various counties of this Republic. These assets represent public wealth accumulated over decades. It is imperative to establish certain facts, including who currently holds the title deeds of these properties, the fate of these assets following the intended dissolution and what impact this dissolution will have on stakeholders, especially pyrethrum farmers and company employees, who have been making a profit as they run this corporation. The PPCK is a Government parastatal that does not have a board of directors as we speak. In this regard, I request the Committee to- (1) Explain the reasons behind the move to dissolve the company and the fate of the employees, who have been working in that company, some of them close to 25 years. (2) Conduct a detailed review of all the properties owned by the PPCK with a view to establish the status of these assets and to ensure that public resources are safeguarded."
