He has talked about grains like wheat and maize. He has said that they are going to be zero-rated. At the moment, there is no maize or wheat. So, that policy may not work. What I expected the Prime Minister to come up with is for the farmers who have maize to get a good price. What can he do for the farmers to plant for next year with a good price on inputs so that Kenya, as a nation would be self-sufficient in food? Worldwide, there is a grain shortage."}
