    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has given a promise that they are going to produce seeds under irrigation. I want to tell Kenyans and this House that Bura Irrigation Scheme and the farmers there have been contracted for some time by the Kenya Seed Company to plant seed maize. As of now and even in the future, we want to assure the Assistant Minister and Kenyans that we will no longer plant seed maize. This is very pertinent and we have to look into issues of price. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister says that a two kilogramme bag of seed maize costs Kshs115. The farmer is paid Kshs55 for this maize, yet it is the farmer who toils to produce the seeds. Even the cost of transportation from Bura to Kitale is again levied on the same farmers. If farmers are going to get only Kshs55 for producing a kilogramme of seed maize, and the Kenya Seed Company makes a 100 per cent profit, how does the Assistant Minister expect our farmers to be contracted to provide seeds?"
