    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I know that we are rushing through and my worry is that we might not do justice to this debate. All the same, I can proceed. First, I want to support and agree that there are many issues that we have canvassed. We grow a lot of maize in Mosop, Nandi County. We have agreed that the genesis of all these problems was Gazette Notice No.3575 and the formation of the Inter- Ministerial Committee which ensured that an extra 9 million bags were imported. That is what condemned farmers to oblivion, poverty and the many things that we have raised. I want to thank the Committee for we did our best, where we could, to ensure that justice is served to farmers. An average age of a farmer in this country is 65 years. You will realise that 78 per cent of the population of this country do not want to venture into agriculture for they have realised that agriculture is not economically viable."
