    "content": "our country we have the technology that we can use to produce certain commodities like the fertilizers. I support the idea of having our own fertilizer factory that will create jobs and enhance issues to do with subsidies. That, at least farmers and those who are supposed to deal with issues of agricultural products will highly benefit from such incentives if we consider that production of fertilizer will be done in house. Therefore, this will really supplement and also complement quite a lot within the agricultural sector. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to point out what one of my colleagues has said especially on the Agricultural Extension Officers, who used to play a very critical and significant role in this country. There before they even used to travel on bicycles and food production and sufficiency was maintained at a good level. It is quite disgusting to know that we have civil servants who are employed as Agricultural Extension Officers within their certain localities but have no idea on what is going on. I want to emphasize this is one of the areas that we really need as a country to look at very analytically because unless we take proper concerns of the interest of the farmers at the grassroots level then it would be very difficult for us to know what problems ails our farmers and come up with very viable solutions on how we can address some of these issues. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to support and commend the Committee on Mediation because I think this is the right way forward."
