    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I am privileged to have been a Member of the mediation team and I support the mediated Report. As said by my Chairman of Departmental Committee on Agriculture, this is the best thing that has happened in this country. One, because for the first time we will have registered warehouses in various areas. For example, in Uasin Gishu and Trans Nzoia, we will have NCPB being registered as a warehouse. A place like Mwea will have a warehouse that deals with rice. It will be a specialised case. Therefore, I support this system. There were issues that were raised in this House. In the meeting, we had a very cordial discussion. We were able to agree on some of the issues that were rejected in this House. One is that this reduced post-harvest losses. You find that today because of the prices out there, most farmers are still keeping the harvest of last year plus the previous year. With the passing of this Bill, as explained, the farmers will be able to take their commodities to the warehouse and wait. You can use the receipt to do business. Therefore, this is one of the best things that have happened in this country for us to establish this system."
