    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that some grain traders have been short-changing the small-scale farmers in Kimilili by using non-standard methods of weighing grain. (b) The Department of Weights and Measures last approved standards for weighing maize vide Legal Notice No.230/1993. Under the Weights and Measures Rules, (Scales and Labelling of Goods), the Fourth Schedule, maize is sold by weight or measures of capacity or volume. The authorized standard capacity measures are 20 litres, 10 litres, five litres, two litres and one litre. When sold in weight, approved and verified weighing machines are used. (c) To protect consumers and farmers, all weighing and measuring equipment is verified annually. Verification in Kimilili Town was carried out on 15th September, 2008. Routine inspections are always conducted to ensure that equipment is not tampered with."
