    "content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Report on the maize issue. First of all, I would like to commend the ad hoc Committee that sat for long hours, looking at the issues of maize in the country, co-chaired by Sen. (Prof.) Kamar and Sen. Wetangula. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the agriculture sector has ability to foster and derail national development because it is the bedrock of our economy. If you look at the Report, there is so much that has been spoken about by my colleagues. So many findings have been given to us and recommendations have been done. However, I would like to point out a few things. First of all, it is evident in this report that a crisis arose as a result of omissions and commission. It was because the stakeholders, State officers and State agencies were there to benefit a few individuals rather than assisting the common mwananchi . The poor farmers in Kenya have really suffered, while the gap between the rich and the poor has continued to widen."
