    "content": "I appeal to hon. Members to support this Motion which in my opinion will liberate our farmers. I come from a rural constituency where about 90 per cent of the residents are farmers. We have Murarandia which grows tea while the lower regions of Mugoiri and Kahuhia grow coffee. People in the lower parts practise other forms of agro- business. Therefore, it will be important if we empower county governments by writing off liabilities of these parastatals. This is because these liabilities were incurred by parastatals when they were being managed by the central Government. Therefore, it is unfair to vest consequences of mismanagement on county governments which did not participate in that mismanagement. That mismanagement, to a certain extent, was abetted by the central Government. Therefore, the central Government having abetted that mismanagement should be the one that should carry the cross of taking over those liabilities."
