"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the one million bags situation has been made worse now with the opening of Southern Sudan. That has opened up a market for a further 15 million people to be fed, up and above the 38 million people. Whether we want it or not, that will affect the demand and supply and push our domestic prices of maize to a level which is not affordable to most Kenyans. That is why we need this innovative idea to produce that maize. In conclusion, it has already been officially announced that we will have long rains all the way to December thereafter followed by a prolonged drought. If we do not plan now for that prolonged drought and squander this water that we have now either by not producing adequate or taking measures that we are talking about here, then we will face more hardships in January to June. We will have all our roads washed off by this expected heavy rains and we end up not having food to feed our people. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support."
