I know it is a free market economy but there is some determinant where every other day you hear, for example, that green maize is going for this much in Marikiti, Mombasa, Meru, Kakamega, Bungoma and so on. With the development of information sharing, the farmers can determine how to offload their crop to the ever increasing number of unscrupulous middle men that do very little but walk away with the best out of the farmer. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, a farmer who has toiled to create food for us should benefit from the produce. More importantly, I would like to encourage the sponsor of the Bill and the Chairman of the Committee on Agriculture to also find a way of getting potatoes recognized and kept under our strategic food reserves. With proper storage, I do not see why bananas and potatoes cannot be part of our strategic reserves, regularly replenished and taken to areas where we have food deficits so that the country is not put on high alert every time maize is in short supply when food is rotting in the fields all over the country.
