Karaba","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":232,"legal_name":"Daniel Dickson Karaba","slug":"daniel-karaba"},"content":"Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, my other concern is that as a Senator, I am supposed to go around the ministries whether they are aware that Kirinyaga and the rice farmers of Mwea are suffering as a result of shortage. Surely, is that right? Can you make a ruling and tell us whether that is the additional work of a Senator? Do we not have workers in the field who can provide that information to the Ministry Headquarters?"}
