    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, aware that milk production is a major source of income for millions of small livestock farmers in the country, who account for over 75 per cent of milk industry’s total output; concerned that whereas livestock farming is a tedious and delicate undertaking when compared to farming of other consumable produce; smallholders farmers get a paltry of Kshs27 per litre of milk, way less than what bottlers of water get at Kshs65 per litre; and further noting that smallholder farmers of milk producers encounter numerous obstacles, amongst which is high cost of production but they are forced to settle for less when selling their produce at farm gate prices; this House urges the Government to urgently intervene with a view to review farm gate milk prices in order to guarantee small holder farmers better returns and shield them from endless sources. Thank you."
