    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, we discovered that the NCPB has leased stores to individuals, farmers and the big millers in particular. The stores are full, not because of any produce of their own, but because of produce that is from outside. When we interviewed the minister on this, he said that he was going to check. Two days later, we heard him announce that all leased NCPB stores are being recovered. However, only a month ago, the same millers said, “No; we leased and our produce is inside.” Therefore, even as we are talking now, the stores are full and the reason they are full is that the grain does not even belong to them; it belongs to the millers. Therefore, that is what the NCPB has been reduced to; it has been reduced to a store. We, therefore, need to have a different way of handling it. Thank God this is a devolved item. Since it is devolved, we need to ask ourselves, as the Senate, how we want to manage food security in this country; how do we want to manage the farmers, right from planting to harvesting. It is really up to this House to decide."
