    "content": "Hon. Speaker, this answer is very elaborate. It is a very technical and scientific one. I promise to give a copy to hon. Limo, so that he can look at it and follow up with the Cabinet Secretary and my Committee. On the issue of sensitization or seminars, being done in hotels rather than being done at open field days, I will take it up with the Cabinet Secretary, so that the method can be changed with a view to reaching more farmers. Hon. Speaker, hon. Keter’s matter on sensitization and creating awareness, it is the same as the clarification asked for. We are going to do the same. On the issue raised by hon. Langat regarding the Government’s mitigation measures, the Ministry has advised farmers that they can cultivate alternative crops like beans, sorghum, cowpeas and green grams. However, in the Financial Years 2012/2013 and 2013/2014, the Government spent Kshs306 million on mitigation measures. In the Financial Year 2013/2014, the Government provided seed support valued at Kshs18 million to farmers in the Rift Valley region as follows: 39.5 metric tonnes of beans; 6.0 metric tonnes of sorghum; 60.0 metric tonnes of potatoes and 5.0 metric tonnes of cowpeas. Therefore, we have put mitigation measures in place. Thank you."
