    "content": "My last submission on this is an appeal to the Government now. It has already announced the 50 kilogramme weight on all products. However, potatoes and other similar products have also got another special problem. If you put 50 kilogramme, the nature of the product is that you also have to see it. You have to see whether it is white or red. It is not like maize where you can seal and put a label. The value chain time is too short for all those procedures. Therefore, I would like to appeal to the Government to suspend for a while, maybe two or three months, until hopefully the Senate or Parliament has passed this law, so that there is a body to handle these things technically with some expertise and be able to do it. Everybody, including the farmers have no problem with the new standard weights at all. However, there is no one providing the containers which would be able to do that. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with those few words, I beg to move that the Potato Produce and Marketing Bill be read a Second Time. I request Sen. Murungi to second the Bill. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir."
