This should have been an annual tender. If Members of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Co-operatives are seated here, with their Chair, they are under an obligation to look at how one company based in Mombasa was given a contract to supply fertilizers for five years as if it is a Member of Parliament. The only people under the Constitution who have tenure of five years are Members of Parliament. Our job is for five years. So, that is where the issue is and that is why the Committee has been going to Mombasa. They go there and take pictures, pick the story but it disappears and does not reach the Floor of this House."}
