    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following Motion. THAT appreciating the critical role Kenya Farmers Association (KFA) once played in the agricultural sector as a reliable supply chain for farm inputs and a marketing conduit for produce; noting with deep concern that the collapse of the 65-Member Kenya Farmers Association has adversely affected the welfare of the Kenyan farmer and the stability of the agricultural sector; aware that the said collapse of Kenya Farmers Association was a consequence of mismanagement and abandonment by the Government; acknowledging that the gallant efforts by farmers to revive the Kenya Farmers Association has been hampered by a heavy burden of bad debt accumulated by reason of the said mismanagement and Government inertia; concerned that various creditors including National Bank of Kenya, Barclays Bank and workers are moving to auction properties of the Kenya Farmers Association further encumbering the noble revival efforts; convinced that the immediate resuscitation of KFA is a matter of strategic national importance; this House urges the Government to immediately avail a grant of Kshs1.3 billion to Kenya Farmers Association to help clear the bad debts and enable it restructure and contribute to the rapid growth of the agricultural sector in line with Vision 2030."
