    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would also wish to state from the outset that I stand to support this Bill. In doing so, I would like to say that the creation of the Fertilizer Board will go along way. We know like my colleague has said, we have had so many problems with the boards. We have had many cartels and corruption, but the creation of this board or authority will look after matters of investment. Farmers should not fear corruption. We will find a way of killing corruption in this county. The creation of this board will help us to look into matters to do with farmers. For a long time, the question of importation of fertilizer has been a great deal. It has actually led to many cartels, like what we are trying to avoid by creating this board. There are so many cartels which have been freezing the Government and taking long to deliver fertilizer to this nation. By creating this board, I believe we are going to remove that question of cartels. The other question which the board will address is the issue of trying to analyze and research especially on the kind of fertilizers that will be used in different counties. We come from counties where we cannot just apply the same kinds of fertilizers. Some of us are farmers who actually plant maize and tea or sugar-cane and we need this board to come up with a real research institution which can look into the kind of fertilizers that can be used by farmers."
