    "content": " Order, Sen. Karaba! I see a small problem here from a legal point of view. Actually, Imperial Bank has nothing to do with this because the farmers are owed money by this company called Value Park Foods Limited who claimed that they banked at Imperial Bank. The farmers do not know this. They would not know where their money was banked because they have no nexus with Imperial Bank. That is the problem I see. The farmers from Kirinyaga and from every other place who are supplying food to this company are owed money by the company and not by Imperial Bank. That is an allegation by the company. We do not know whether that is true or not. So, the issue here is one between the farmers in Kirinyaga and elsewhere and Value Pack Foods Limited. That is the line that you and Sen. Madzayo should be pursuing. The other problem I see is that you are asking what steps the Government has taken. In fairness to the Chairman, he has said that the Government can only facilitate arbitration between the farmers and the defaulting company failure to which the consequences would be legal redress. I heard him saying that it is because there is a personal contract between these two parties. Unfortunately, that may appear to be at the moment. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
