    "content": "I think it is very important that when the public speaks, Parliament responds by doing something. That is the point I was trying to make right here. I was going to the point where I was saying that I do not receive, or I do not have a constituency that handles CDF money but I support it. Why? Because I see what CDF does on the ground for the people. That is the bottom line. Are our people benefitting from this? Going into the BPS, I see that there is the point of unlocking agricultural productivity among smallholder farmers. The most discouraging thing to our people who go into agriculture is lack of markets. I see that there is a point that we have to increase access to markets. When I saw the Report of the Budget and Appropriations Committee saying that we have not received a report on the results of what happened last year, what happened to the money that we gave it? I can see why. When I look at the key performance indicators, they do not sometimes tally with what is being said. For example, when you say that you want to promote agricultural market access, then you say that your key outputs are agro-processing technologies promoted, agribusiness development centers and market prices published in daily newspapers, which among those indicators is going to show us that our farmers are getting new markets opened for them to access farm produce? So, the Ministries producing these key outputs must look at what outputs they are producing."
