    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, to begin my presentation or my remarks, I would like to say that 12th March, 2009 was the launch of Kazi kwa Vijana programme in a place called Inoshon, Mashuru District of my constituency by the two principals; the President and the Prime Minister. It was in a public rally that I requested that since the prolonged drought had affected the lives of farmers, it was time for the Government to bail out farmers who had the AFC loans or to cushion AFC so that the loans could be waived. They, in public, commended that it was a noble idea and they made an undertaking that the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Livestock Development should make a presentation so that those loans by farmers could be waived and at the same time cushion AFC so that it can be able to function. Since 12th March, 2009, the Government has not kept its word. It was made by the two principals; people who are governing this country. It is a very sad situation because we have to hold these people to account. They must keep their promises to farmers. They must keep their word. They must push the Minister for Agriculture and the Minister for Livestock Development to bring a Cabinet Paper so that approvals can be made according to their promises."
