    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this matter came before the House last week and it had been directed to the Ministry of Trade. The Ministry of Trade then said that they were not competent to answer this Question and that it should be redirected to another Ministry. It was then directed to us as the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance. The Ministry of Finance does not deal with maize. The issues of maize are squarely in the Ministry of Agriculture. This is because it is the Ministry of Agriculture which deals with production, storage and marketing of maize, including its by-products. Because of this, we have written to the Ministry of Agriculture and to Parliament asking them to deal with this issue. We could only have dealt with this issue if we were under a price control regime which is not the case. Since we do not control prices anymore, the issue of why prices should not go down or up is not dealt with by us. So, the Ministry of Agriculture deals with marketing. They are fully in charge and we have asked them to deal with this Question."
