    "content": "A number of shopping centres have completely collapsed. You will go to that particular region and realise that farmers in all those areas are even not able to meet usual household needs. I urge this House that as we move forward--- We just passed a very good national policy which will promote wealth creation. I know very well that the Jubilee Government has very good agenda for the whole of this country. The best agenda is to make sure that the interests and needs of the farmer are taken care of and his bills are paid. If we go this direction, we will impoverish almost every other farmer because as we talk here today, Kenya is actually an agricultural country. We are relying on coffee, tea and sugar-cane for almost 50 per cent of our income. If this is not taken into consideration, one subsector is collapsing after the other. It is important for us to come in and make sure that the sugar subsector, which has been employing a very good number of people and enabling a number of families to fend for themselves, is actually taken into consideration."
