    "content": "(14) Farmers Representatives. The Committee undertook various meetings with maize farmers and opinion leaders in, among others, Trans Nzoia, Nyamira, Bungoma and Nandi counties. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Committee is grateful to you for having attended one of its meetings at the Eldoret Town Hall during the inaugural sitting of the Senate in Eldoret, Uasin Gishu County. As a consequence of our inquiry, the Government reacted by attempting to hasten the process of paying the farmers, albeit unsuccessfully. Indeed, the workings of the Committee have jerked the Executive to appoint its own taskforce to look into maize farming. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Committee was also cognizant that during the process of our inquiry, the DPP and the DCI and other investigative agencies were seized of the matter. Currently, some cases relating to this maize issue are on-going in court. We urge the two offices not to relent in going after all the culprits in the maize scandal until they are brought to book."
