    "content": "operatives, we sat down with our new chairman to look at how we could properly look at this milk issue. I know it hurts a farmer when he produces milk and does not have a market for it. I am looking at North Eastern and the Rift Valley regions, and even Eastern Province, where farmers produce milk but they do not have access to markets. When we come together as a nation and look at this issue of milk, the production is very good but there is no market. Where do we take milk after producing it? Hon. Deputy Speaker, hon. Shill stood here and said that, if we can have a milk factory in each county to process excess milk into milk powder, that will help the Kenyans to market their milk in powder form. The Mover of this Motion, who is also a very good friend of mine and a farmer too, asked me to tell my Committee of Agriculture that even if milk is devolved to the counties, we should also, as a committee in every county, visit every county, so that we can see what our farmers are going through. With those remarks, I support and think hon. Members will also support this noble Motion, move forward and save this country from lack of markets for milk. Thank you."
