    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am surprised that the Ministry does not even understand simple arithmetic. With 64,000 hectares each producing 15 bags, you quickly get 2.4 million bags. A loss of 2.4 million bags is peanuts to a Ministry that normally likes importing maize. In the whole of South Rift, there is no food. The hon. Minister, my good elder sister, visited the area although she made some remarks that were not very popular. She was telling parents that if you are affected by malaria, you do not expect the Government to compensate you. I do not know whether if we lose maize and there is total hunger in the area, this Government will care. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister tell us what measures they have put in place to supply food to the whole region where people are now hungry and yet it is raining. There is a total maize failure and yet it is staple food. Are you supplying the other balance of maize to the farmers? There is complete maize failure in Narok, Bomet, Kericho, Trans Mara and South Nyanza. I understand now that in her area of Nandi, there is the same problem."
