    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me explain to hon. Members here. The reason why we are importing maize is not because we want to pay higher prices for farmers in other countries. We would rather pay our own farmers. The reason why we have to import maize is because we do not have enough maize in the country. My understanding is that contrary to the statement of Mr. Kutuny that farmers have refused to sell maize, we are buying on average between 20,000 and 28,000 bags of maize every day from farmers through our National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) buying centres. That programme is on. We have now bought 600,000 bags of maize as of yesterday. I want to confirm that the farmers of this country are patriotic enough to know that they need to sell maize at a price that we can supply to consumers at a price they can afford."
