    "content": ". That is the latest I got this morning. What is this farmer going to do? The planting season is within reach. In the next 10 to15 days, the rains will be with us. The farmer is left at the mercy of this Government and that of the cartels, and yet we are afraid of nailing down those who have brought that economy to the bottom. When it comes to the issue of corruption, whoever was involved in this importation of excessive maize, must take the blame and the burden. I also think that instead of blaming the DCI and the DPP – I think they are doing their good job - give them the opportunity to be able to nail down these people because they are the saboteurs of our economy. How else are our people going to succeed? How else are our people going to grow the economy if agriculture which is the mainstream of our economy is being run down, day in, day out? We should be merciless and be able to put a price on those who have run down this sector. There should be no mercy about it. That is why I support this Report in its totality and we must now look at the things that have brought this sector to the bottom. When you look at agriculture, when you are talking about maize, sugar, tea or anything else, it is collapsing. How else is this nation going to survive? I support this Report."
