"content": "said they could extend it. They, therefore, had another Gazette Notice issued . The elections were also coming and so they extended it a third time. Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to support the amendment. For those who have been found at fault in this Report, this should not be the end of the game. This Committee should be reconstituted. The people implicated should appear before the Committee so that we can have long term solution. I think the records show that the first place where there is a record of maize being used was in Southern Mexico, 10,000 years ago. Maize came to our continent through the Portuguese in the 16th to the 17th centuries. If you look at the history of production of maize in this country, production went up after the turn of the 20th century. The Colonial Government was pushing for the production of this staple food. There were moments when Kenya was exporting maize even in the colonial days If you go to the Report which was tabled in Parliament in 1965, it was showing that after the war in 1957, Kenya was exporting some maize. They were driving it so that there would be a staple food available for Kenyans at a stable price and sufficient production, and so on, and so forth."
