    "content": "I am supporting this amendment, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, because it will be very useful to the Kenyan farmers. It is farmers in arid and semi-arid areas (ASALs) who grow these crops. Putting this in law, it will protect them. Taxing these products from sorghum and millet last year but one had a negative impact on our Kenyan farmers, transporters and manufacturers. So many people were affected by that. If the house passes this Bill, we will support the production of these crops and their products. This is not only for the advantage of the brewers but it will also be a great advantage to our farmers. It will improve food security. You have realised that our economy is going down because agricultural productivity is going down."
