    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also want to joyride on what my colleagues, Hon. Tonkei and Hon. Sunkuli, have said. It is true that the farmers of Narok were all over the streets on Monday protesting because of failure by the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) to uptake their produce. This is a matter of concern to all of us because we know that Narok – especially the Narok North belt – is the food basket of this country. The failure by the NCPB to uptake this farm produce will renege the gain that we already got through the fertiliser subsidy. Farmers have already suffered post-harvest losses. We are very worried. If there will be no urgent intervention, there will be very little to be salvaged. I do not want to pre-empt any action but I prevail upon you; that, this matter should be treated as urgent, so that at least the produce can be salvaged. It is piled all over the place. I have been told that the farmers are already in Nairobi trying to look for help. We should look for an immediate intervention to this issue. Thank you, Hon. Speaker.
