    "content": "Thank you. This is one of the greatest things that have happened in the agricultural sector this morning. Most of the people rely on packed cereals. The only other thing that is packed in 50 kilogramme bag is cement, which is not an issue. When you look at the fines that have been put there, I take this opportunity to oppose what Hon. Washiali was suggesting, that we should have stiffer fines. Out there, we have very informal operations. People who operate business such as maize, potatoes, groundnuts and even arrowroots may not have good machines for measuring 50 kilogramme bags. Therefore, when you impose a fine of Kshs200,000 on them--- It is good to be left the way it is because the judge or the magistrate has the capacity to tell whether that person was doing it out of impunity or it was a mere mistake out of lack of capacity to measure and calculate. So, it is a good thing and it is going to save our farmers. We will have better packaging and value for money."
