    "content": "Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I wish to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Co-operatives regarding the deteriorating financial status of the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC). There is great concern that operations at the KMC are once again grinding to a halt, with the livestock traders’ and the First Community Bank money, which the KMC owes them, being at risk. The traders and the bank are owed amounts of Kshs152 million and Kshs180 million respectively. The terms of contract signed between farmers and the Commission clearly states that farmers have to pay a down payment of 40 per cent of the total amount within 14 days. Most of the farmers have not been paid for over two years."
