    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, first of all, we know that the farmers were the owners of KCC sometime back when it was started, until1997/1998 when it was run down. Later on, it was returned as New KCC. We remember that the farmers were not even paid for their milk deliveries in 1997 and 1998.

We know that even the farmers were earning bonuses at the end of every year from the delivery of milk. That is the time that the farmers were enjoying the ownership of KCC. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we know that at the moment the price of milk is very low. It is Kshs24 per litre and the price of water is Kshs100 per litre, yet the farmer has spent a lot to get that milk. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we are surprised that the KCC factory is in Thika, while the highest milk producers are in Eldoret, Sotik, Kapsabet and in that region. We thought that historically the factory is supposed to be nearer the raw material. Right now, milk is being transported from Eldoret and Kapsabet to Thika. The KCC should be owned by the farmers and the factory built in Eldoret. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, in conclusion, our athletes who are doing so well drink a lot of milk and that is why they are succeeding in their performance. In 1980s Denmark---"
