    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, the Report says that the Committee received evidence that the NCPB silos are poorly maintained and cannot hold maize for more than six months. I am sure that within six months, no farmer can even go through the process that has been put there and sell their crop. Therefore, even before they receive their money, their product goes to waste. The Government has invested a lot of money in this particular Ministry. Therefore, the recommendations that this Committee has put forward should be implemented as soon as possible. As I conclude, this honourable House should recommend that if there are farmers who have not received their payments, they should be paid with immediate effect. If there are farmers who have their produce in their stores, the Government should--- Of course, the President has already ordered, but more needs to be done because we have farmers who have a lot of maize in their stores, and they do not know what to do with it. The review of The NCPB Act should also be put into consideration and a database of farmers has to be developed as soon as possible."
