    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when I started answering the question, I appreciated the magnitude of the issue under discussion. It is an issue of farming and to do with life. Indeed, I have gone through the statement and I know some of the shortcomings. Senators have rightfully pointed out and it will be very important to follow up this issue in order to save this country from having answers like these which do not mitigate the issues at hand. There are some things that I thought I could just mention. For example, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. has mentioned about things to be done. One of them is the draft Bill. I now go back to asking, how come this draft Bill is sitting in the Ministry when it is one of the vehicles that we require to use? So, these are issues that I could go back for. I am also a Senator in this country and aware of these. I know that there are places in this country with very good weather and have lots of food. I also know some farmers are struggling with where to store the plentiful food that they have. Therefore, there are issues even about distribution capacity to save the people, which I think are not contained in this answer here. However, I know the piecemeal places that activity has been taken, implementation is going on in certain places and I have mentioned some of them. I have clearly heard that because of the seriousness of this, we would rather have to hear these from the horse’s mouth. As directed, if you would, I would very kindly and dutifully ask 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"
