    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I meant that we are not going to beg anybody for these services. We want the Government to set aside money and take care of Kenyan farmers who deserve to be protected by the same Government. The United States of America, China and Brazil have managed to utilize to the maximum the fruits that are grown in their countries. In the African continent, Kenya ranks fourth in fruit production. The biggest producer is Nigeria, followed by South Africa and Tanzania. Tanzania is facing the same problems that we are facing here in Kenya. South Africa has surmounted them and that is why they are exporting them to Kenya. Looking at the metric tonnes that are produced here, if that is put to good use, we will create jobs for our people. I beg to move and ask Sen. Wamatangi to second this Motion since his county grows fruits like the county I represent and many other counties including those in the coast region and yet there is a lot of poverty in those areas. Thank you."
