    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with you. You know where Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale comes from, food is very important. They talk about food all the time. It is so sad that the New KCC and the SACCO in Meru decided to drastically reduce the amount of milk they are taking from the farmers, from 75,000 to 25,000 litres. Milk is perishable. It is not dry food that you can store in your house for long and then submit later on. We need to call the Cabinet Secretary and the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the New KCC to come to the House. Our farmers are suffering. We are encouraging them to have good dairy cows that produce up to 40 litres a day. When they work hard, we stop picking the milk from them. This is not right. The Cabinet Secretary should come to the House and explain what is happening because we have a shortage of milk. Why are we importing milk from Uganda? Why are we importing maize when we have maize from the neighboring countries? That is something that we need to look at, so that we do not discourage our farmers from investing in both dairy and crops. Lastly, I wanted to comment on the statement by the Senator for Migori. The Cabinet Secretary for Mining, Blue Economy and Maritime Affairs gazetted 32 Artisanal Mining Committees (AMCs) across the country, Elgeyo-Marakwet County being one of them. They have taken so long to operationalize these committees across the counties that have been gazetted. They need to operationalize, especially this coming Financial Year---"
