    "content": "As we strive as a country to address food shortage, it is also disheartening that the people of Kuria have harvested a lot of maize. This is not a story that everybody gets to talk about from their regions because unfortunately, despite the farmers taking their maize to the NCPB in Ntimaru and Kehancha, there are no gunny bags to store this maize. So, the maize is just being rained on. There is a big problem. This is the only cash crop that the people of Kuria talk about. So, I want to urge that even as Nelson Marwa and others get into action solving the problems of Kenyans, they need to ensure that what we promise as a Government - that we want to improve agriculture - that improvement does not end at just speaking. It should translate all the way so that our people are encouraged to farm and ensured of a ready market. They should also not be exploited by middlemen. I also want to take this opportunity to also address other matters that are pertinent and fall in this docket. We are soon coming to the census of 2019. The Kuria people are not sure exactly if the numbers that the national statistics captured are the correct numbers. This is because a lot of services that the people of Kuria expect to receive do not get because of lack of officers on the ground. So, I want to support and ask that all these things that are supposed to be done by the PSs are done, so that services can reach the people of Kenya. Thank you very much. I support and thank the President for this appointment."
