"content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support because indeed, I think there is need for time for Ministers also to concentrate on their work. For example, as I speak here with us I have my sisters; the Minister for Water and Irrigation and the Minister for Agriculture. In my constituency, there are serious problems about food storage and I have the advantage of her listening. We require that she opens up the cereals board stores. In the entire region of Bomet, there is plenty of maize but all this is being taken away by middlemen who pay farmers peanuts and yet hardly six months ago, we were purchasing maize for Kshs3,000 from South Africa. Now, farmers are selling the same for Kshs600. At this particular time, I am also sure that the Minister for Water and Irrigation is now through with sorting out the water problems in Kitui. I understand she has done very well there. Now I expect her to go to Chepalungu, and after that visit to North Eastern Province because they have been making a lot of noise. By that time, hon. Oparanya will have counted how many people actually live in North Eastern Province---"
