    "content": "As I said earlier, listing the farmers in the CRB hinders them from getting any other support. I urge the Committee that you will direct to investigate this matter to invite all the parties, including the farmers. There are over 450 barley farmers in Narok County. They have been growing barley for many years. However, two years ago, they were told they could not be supported anymore because they had been listed with the CRB. These farmers have never signed any agreement with the Co-operative Bank of Kenya Limited. The farmers of Narok are just like any other farmer in this country. They are young people who are between the ages of 18 and 35. These people should be given an opportunity to contribute positively to our economy. It is important to look at the way the insurance companies operate their businesses. It is sad that the financial institutions in this country are now playing the role of insurance companies with regard to compensation of farmers. This is not their primary role. They should keep off. With your indulgence, I would like to urge this House to commit this Statement to the committee so that farmers of Narok County get justice."
