    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we went to Bomet where we held meetings with maize and dairy farmers and the general public. In Narok, we met wheat and maize farmers, livestock farmers and the general public. In Nyeri, we met tea and coffee farmers and the general public. At Embu, we did meet with the general public, while in Meru we met with farmers, traders and the general public. In Lodwar, we met with the pastoralists and the general public. In Lokichar, that is in Turkana County, we met pastoralists and the general public while in Kitui we met with the general public. In Lango Baya in Malindi, Kilifi County we met with the general public. We also met with the general public in Lamu. The Committee tried to move across the country. It had planned to hold similar public hearings in some areas like Mwingi, Isiolo, Garissa and Mwea, but was unable to do so due to unforeseen constraints. The Committee is, therefore, confident that it had a representative voice of Kenyans and its report thus reflects sentiments of the people of Kenya. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to make acknowledgements. The Committee is grateful to the Office of the Speaker and the Clerk of the National Assembly for the support it received to discharge its mandate. The Committee further commends Government agencies and departments that it met for openness and co- operation which they accorded it while conducting its business. The Committee is especially grateful to the Provincial Administration for the support they accorded the Committee in organizing public hearings in different parts of the country. The Committee appreciates the technical advice it received after consultations with various stakeholders and the findings and recommendations contained in this report tried to address all the issues it had established. Special thanks also go to the Staff of the Parliamentary Service Commission who served under the Committee. They are Edward Libendi, James Kinono, Nicodemus Odongo, Farida Ngasura and Linda Kirinya. Finally, the Committee extends special gratitude to the hon. Members of the Committee who worked extremely hard, sometimes under strenuous circumstances. The following hon. Members need special mention. Fortunately, this starts with my name and I do not know why. Hon. John Mbadi, hon."
