    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to comment on this important Bill. First, I want to thank the Mediation Committee for the work that they have done by bring this Report to this House. I also wish to commend Mhe. Mwaura for what he has said about this Bill. It is important because agriculture is an engine for development in our country. Economic improvement in this country depends on how well we do in agriculture. I have been a farmer throughout my life. Our farms are now a little older. When I started farming in this country, we would get about 30 bags of maize from one acre of land. I remember I was harvesting a lot of maize. However, when you do farming these days you do not produce that much. You need to put a lot of fertilizer. This Board is very much welcomed. It is timely. It will have a lot of work in this country to improve agriculture and animal husbandry. Fertilizer is expensive, and it eats the goodness in the soil of our farms. This must be looked at. Why is this fertilizer not giving us what we require even when we use a lot? This Board will be of great help The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
