    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to support this Motion. I would like to urge Members to take time off so that we can go and see what is really happening in our constituencies. We had very good rains but we are having bore warms that are destroying our crops. I urge Members to go, support and educate our famers on how to fight the bore warms. The Ministry has given each District Agricultural Officer (DAO) more than 5,000 litres of chemical to fight the bore warms. This is threatening our harvest and we are getting very close to harvest. I would also like to tell the Members who were affected by aflatoxin the last time, that we now have driers. They will be in place before the harvest of this crop. I would like to thank the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance for assuring Kenyans and this House that he will look into the matter of interest rates. It is not only Kenyans who are being affected but even ourselves, we are affected. It is only fair that we do proper business not business of really finishing one side, and other people, really continuing to grow like the way it is happening. So, by the time we come back, we hope the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance will have come up with a formula, which will be used and which will enable us also to transact business. The way we are doing it now, we are going to cause a lot of mess and only do what we want to do. But if we give the Minister time to consult with the Finance, Planning and Trade Committee, they will come up with something which will sort out this issue once and for all."
