    "content": "further mandate to facilitate the development and establishment of fertiliser manufacturing factories in Kenya. I do not know precisely what instruments we are giving to the Board to facilitate the development of fertiliser manufacturing factories. It also says that the Boards will encourage and empower Kenyans to invest locally. I do not know how this will be achieved. However, of greater concern is this function which we are allocating to the proposed board to manage the importation and distribution of fertiliser. I thought this is exactly what the country was trying to run away from; managing the importation of important products such as fertiliser. I do not know whether we are moving in the right direction in this respect. However, I have strong reservations about giving this Board such a function. Overall, the amendments proposed here are an expression of the desire to do something about the whole issue of fertiliser. As somebody has said, we should not be lamenting and crying out. Let us proceed and do something for the sake of our farmers for food security and for the welfare of our own people. For that reason, I conclude my remarks by supporting this Bill."
