    "content": "the work of officers from Public Health to check the NCPB standards.” They do not even know their mandate. This House should find a way of assisting the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Cooperatives to equip the KeBS so that we can have quality food in this country. The recommendations in this Report should be taken seriously by this House. Agriculture is one of the devolved functions, and we must make sure that it is devolved fully. All the people that have been mentioned in this Report should step aside so that they can allow investigations to take place. They should also be charged because of the suffering they have caused our farmers. We should also be very serious with both agriculture and livestock keeping. We have farmers who delivered their livestock to the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC) in the last three years, and have never been paid to date. The KMC is allocated a budget but they are not paying for farmers who deliver their animals to be slaughtered there. We are discouraging farmers and yet we talk of food being one of our Big Four Agenda. How can we talk of food being one of our Big Four Agenda items, yet we are not promoting farmers? Our farmers must be taken care of and helped so that they can produce food for this country."
