    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very important Motion on the Floor of the House. In considering this Motion, I wish that the Leader of Majority would also listen, because this is an important Motion which concerns maize farmers. If you look at the geographical representation of maize growing areas, it is quite obvious that the Motion before the House is skewed. If we are talking in a bipartisan manner, it is important that this Motion be the way it is today in order to make it more inclusive. This is particularly so for those people who are also going through the same difficulties in getting their dues paid on time. Therefore, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a well thought out Motion and you cannot just take one section of the society in this country and constitute a select committee which is supposed to be looking at the overall issues within the Republic of Kenya. We are within our rights to insist that this Motion goes the way it is today because then, it takes into account the geographical representation of the maize growing areas, and not only one sector of the maize growing areas. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
