    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I was also happy with the reforms which the President proposed. He stated very clearly that going forward the reforms in the agriculture sector will be farmer-centric and will be focused on reducing the cost of food. This is extremely important because the cost of production in Kenya is very prohibitive. We found out through a Report that came to this House that maize farmers are not very sure how much they are going to plant this year notwithstanding the fact that the rains have reduced. They are asking themselves how they can invest money which they do not have. They have had problems with AFC loans because the interest rates have been very high and now they cannot even borrow from anybody. Banks cannot give loans to these farmers because even farmers who are aggregators, including aggregators from Moiben in my county, were called cartels. They have not been paid and have been taken to court. They are moving in circles even when we know that they are extremely innocent. They never went to Uganda. We produced in this House the list of those who imported from Uganda and none of them was involved. We produced the list of those who imported from Zimbabwe, Mexico and other countries but none of them was in that list; yet they are still being tortured and tossed up and down."
