    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for allowing me to support this Motion. As much as we are giving money to MSC to rehabilitate it and put it on the right path to economic prosperity for the people of Western Province, the Government should also consider other entities like the Agricultural Development Corporation (ADC), the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) and the Agricultural Finance Corporation which are also the backbone of the people of North Rift. In this area, we have employees of ADC who have not been paid their salaries for the last 20 years. This should also be looked into because they are Kenyans who also have basic needs. They also have children who are in schools and have requirements like any other person. As we revive MSC, let us also look at that. I know the issue of ADC was brought before the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee and he dismissed it and yet, it was fronted by the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Co-operatives. This is at the heart of our people in North Rift. We want that to be looked into and, more so, the issue of fertilizers and farming in North Rift. With those few remarks, I support."
