"content": " Yes, Hon. Speaker. On Monday this week, there was a big demonstration by the people of Narok in Narok Town. This was not only a demonstration of the ordinary people but also the rich farmers of Narok. They are the main people who farm wheat in Narok. The reason is that wheat is full to the brim in the stores of Narok and there is nowhere to sell it. Narok has always been the main area, apart from Uasin Gishu, where wheat farming takes place in Kenya. Because of some reasons, there is a clog somewhere. The wheat in Narok cannot be sold anywhere. It is important for this Statement to make the matter very clear. There are allegations that we are not selling our wheat because we are importing it. This causes lack of market for our wheat. The Cabinet Secretary must tell us if this is a fact. If so, then the Government must buy this wheat and pay the farmers, so that they can continue to farm. Otherwise, next year, we will still continue to import wheat. Hon. Speaker, I support the Request for Statement."
