    "content": "In summary, as I finalise, when the Committee will be looking at the extension, it will be important to ask a basic question as to whether the Cabinet Secretary, if he extended it in his own motion, he sought leave of his counterparts. We should not question things outside the law. We can come up with suggestions. If we have to amend the East African Community Customs Management Act, this Committee should be able to guide as in doing so. Since other Senators want to contribute to this Motion, I wish to end by saying that in terms of the challenges that are faced by farmers, I would encourage this Committee to find a way of advising the National Treasury. Since this House has been reduced to a rubberstamp, when it comes to the division or equitable share of revenue, we can establish if we can bring the farmers together and give them grants and loans to form private cooperatives. Additionally, we can see how these farmers can work with their county governments to set up clear databases and improve on the production of maize. We have seen many countries around the world producing a lot of maize. Why can we not do the same in this country? With those few remarks, I support."
