I just have two minutes. Mine is to say that by passing this Motion, we will be making a policy statement. We do know that we are still at the policy statement level of the budget process. This Government can make a decision as a matter of policy to ensure that we put to rest the ghost of KenRen. In the 1970s, we did actually resolve to have a fertilizer factory in this country, but for reasons known to all of us, 30 years later, we do not have a fertilizer factory and yet, Kenyans still continue paying for a non-existent fertilizer factory called KenRen. The time has come when we can now establish a fertilizer factory to ensure our national food security. We do have a seed company; that is the Kenya Seed Company. We look forward to having a fertilizer factory that will supply fertilizer and seeds to the region. With those few remarks, I beg to move."}
