    "content": "from them. Instead, we are opting for more imports which are flooding the market. I hope this will not be a game of the goose just like when we were investigating the edible oil scandal. I, therefore, would like the Committee to go deep into this because there is no way we are prioritizing importation yet Kenya is producing huge quantities of wheat. This would discourage our farmers for that matter. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in this case, if you allow me, I would use the Swahili word ‘ kinaya kikubwa’ that the Agriculture and Food Authority and the Ministry in general is running an advert of Better Kilimo, Mkulima Kwanza, but prioritizing people who are not our citizens. I would like the Committee to go deeper and beyond some of the issues that Sen. Mandago has raised, so that there is justice for our farmers. I would like to also support the Statement by Sen. Hezena. It is a wake-up call to parents and guardians to also guide our children who are growing up on what is suitable for their consumption. Even though we are going to put laws that will guide them on what to look at and what not to, we as parents need to have that responsibility so that we are bring up children who are well informed. That is why I brought the Civic Education Bill, not just for we, Members here, but citizens in general to be informed on what decisions they are bound to make. I thank you."
