    "content": "When it comes to agriculture, this sessional paper talks about it as being the mainstay of our economy. I grew up in Cherengany. I have never seen Cherengany failing to produce maize. I have never seen Cherengany and Trans-Nzoia failing to produce enough maize to feed this country. But what I am seeing now is that every time at the end of the year, people have problems in selling their crops. That is the problem we have in this country. Nobody should lie to us that we are not producing enough food; we are producing more than enough, but getting the market is the problem. It is very disappointing. In fact, every farmer now wants to grow different crops. It is very unfortunate that we produce enough--- If you go to Trans-Nzoia and Members of Parliament from Trans-Nzoia will agree with me, you will see beautiful maize. However, I fear that at the end of the year, the Government will not have set aside enough money and storage facilities to make sure that when harvesting time reaches the farmers will be covered. The places that are suffering and have no food like North Eastern, Turkana and other areas can be given food from other areas in this country. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
