"content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, it is also important for us to note that we farmers have been asking for subsidies. We even do not want subsidies. Give us the fertiliser on time. We will produce enough food. We will sell the food to other people who do not produce it, and we will get back our money. We do not even need a subsidy. What we need is the fertiliser to come on time so that we can produce enough food and be able to go into commercial farming. If you go to North Rift you will see that Uasin Gishu, Trans Nzoia and parts of western Kenya we have large tracts of land, but because of frustrations people undergo, as one of the hon. Members mentioned, they turn to other forms of production. Some people are now going into coffee growing. What does that mean? Eventually we will not have food. Eventually we will keep on importing food. You are here and you are all Kenyans; you will realise that the last time we imported food, that was maize, it was bad. Importers brought us animals feed instead of bringing us the right food. So, I want to urge this House to support the Motion because it will actually help us solve a problem."
