    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I can only agree that there has been great fluctuation of the Kenya Shilling against the dollar. For instance, we all know that in January, the exchange rate of shilling to a dollar jumped to Kshs72. Now, it is at about Kshs62. We can all imagine its effect on importation. I think the good news is that since this fertiliser is a donation from the Japanese Government, one can only hope that it is free of these exchange fluctuations. However, the most important thing is to be able to get farmers' fertiliser at affordable prices. Had it been that there was no violence in this country, first of all, the price would not have shot up to Kshs4,000 per 50- kilogramme bag. We would only be dealing with the middlemen who have been very bad to the farmers. Be that as it may, this Government is committed to ensuring that the farmer is given the support he, obviously, deserves."
