"content": "problem of agriculture last Wednesday. The problems that are there are well known. We are as good as the funds we are given, but the Government is not a buyer. We buy maize for the Strategic Grain Reserve (SGR), which is under the Ministry of State for Special Programmes. We do not trade in wheat or maize. That is what gave rise to people importing maize and wasting money that could have been used to buy maize in this country to feed those who did not harvest. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in my view, what we now need to do is to move away from politics of the referendum, and go to a level where we can have peace and harmony When we come back after the recess, we will need to work hard on implementation. However, some of the speakers here asked for harmony at the national level. At the local level, they continue with the language they used during the campaigns, which is not helpful. While they may oppose a suggestion about which one media house should be given a medal, they continue to use their own vernacular media house called âKass FMâ to insult those Kenyans who voted overwhelmingly for the Constitution. I felt that I needed to respond to that one. For the umpteenth time, I support."
