    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I rise to oppose this amendment. Last year, I brought a petition to this House regarding the question of taxation on products made from sorghum, millet and cassava. By doing this, we are going to kill the livelihoods of many farmers who have contracts with beer-brewing companies. When farmers grow these commodities, we are also supporting the work being carried out by our research institution like the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI). At the same time, as farmers grow these crops for ready market, they also improve the food security in our country. In the process, this supports food security and generates income to many farmers."
