    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I enjoin what the Senate Majority Leader said. In fact, when we were in Eldoret, farmers told him that he is a very good speaker and that he should speak about maize. I am happy that he has spoken about maize and farmers here today. Madam Temporary Speaker, for avoidance of doubt, this Committee sat and conducted its affairs with absolute integrity, and we laud Sen. (Prof.) Margaret Kamar for chairing the Committee. She never missed any meeting except once or twice, when she was out of the country; neither did I. Madam Temporary Speaker, I agree that you prioritise this report to be debated tomorrow. In fact, as we are sitting here, farmers from all over are sending Short Message Services (SMSs), looking to this House to give them some form of solution. Therefore, let me dispel any anxiety that may be there. We had Professor here; we had Senior Counsel Omogeni, Madam Milgo, Madam Petronilla, and Lawyer Cherargei. We had a good team, they did a good job and we visited--- You will be shocked by the rot in this country. We went to a place in Kisii, where the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) delivered seeds, which were bought by farmers and not a single one has germinated; yet money has been frittered away. I, therefore, want to urge you, Madam Temporary Speaker, to give this report top priority, and to disabuse any Member from thinking anything different. We will bring an amendment – as Sen. (Prof.) Kamar had proposed – that captures more people, and not reduces the culpability of anybody."
