    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, if you do not take mercury in your sugar, you will take aflatoxin in your ugali . If you are not safe from that, you will get an accident. If you are not safe from that, cholera will kill you. It is very sad because of the Government agencies. I do not want to pre-empt a debate. I have seen the report that was tabled. Some heads must roll. The position you hold as a Cabinet Secretary, you hold on trust and on behalf of all of us. Let us make Kenya safe. I know all of us would wish to go to heaven. However, let not mercury in sugar, aflatoxin in our maize or non-payment of maize farmers send us to hell. Madam Temporary Speaker, as I conclude because I know most of my colleagues would want to contribute, I thank you and Sen. Wetangula for this Motion. Our concern is that our farmers should be paid promptly. In future, let us also avoid paying ghost farmers. The Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Agriculture, hon. Kiunjuri, must take personal responsibility and ensure farmers are paid promptly. We also need to have the inventory of all the supplies of the maize. We also need to see the list of farmers who supplied maize to the NCPB across this country. If this does not happen, and we are not threatening anybody, we will generously advise our farmers to stop growing maize. The country will go hungry. When you do not have a healthy country, then we will not create wealth in this country. It will mean that ugali that we enjoy in our homes will start disappearing slowly from the table. I call upon Senators that when it reaches to that point, let us ask questions. The Senate has been known to stand on the high pedestal of integrity when discharging its mandate. That is the same report that we would want to see the Committee provide which will be in the best interest of Kenyans. It will be the poor Kenyans against the cartels that are trying to bring down the lives of Kenyans in this country. I thank you."
