    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for your guidance. The matter being discussed here, as Mr. Namwamba has said, is what I will not say is deadly, but is really important. The decision of the Ministry of Co-operative Development and Marketing to privatize the New KCC means that people who are not necessarily in that industry are going to take assets which are owned by farmers. It is so sensitive and central to the operations of the farmers that we do not want to imagine for even a second that those assets will be owned and transferred to new owners who will not necessarily be the farmers. The farmers have suffered the agony of being underpaid for milk. They have lived through all these years. I sit in the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives and I can talk for hours here, disclose nitty- gritty, the dos and don’ts and all the maneuvers that have gone on in that particular sector. So, it is very important that the Executive is listening and takes this matter seriously; the New KCC is the property of farmers. The KFA is the property of the farmers. The Pyrethrum Board of Kenya is the property of farmers. The Kenya Planters Co-operative Union (KPCU) is the property of farmers and the Government has no business to privatize what it does not own in the first place."
