    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the answers that we have continued to receive in the past two weeks on the issue of maize, to say the least, are very distressing. It is like farmers really have to struggle alone through this process. It is only last year that we had difficulties in feeding this nation. This year, we had a good harvest but the Ministry and the Government seem to have forgotten that very quickly. Many of these farmers approach financial institutions to be able to cater for the cost of planting, the seeds and everything else. They need to repay the financial institutions, perhaps, by the end of this year. The Assistant Minister has told us that all they can do now is to offer warehousing for the harvest. Could the Assistant Minister tell us if there are any mitigation measures the Government intends to take because the farmers need to repay the loans they borrowed from the financial institutions? They also need capital for them to do the planting in the coming season."
