    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with respect to wheat, we should not kill wheat production in Kenya. This is a very serious thing. We should not say because production of wheat in Kenya is, probably, more expensive than production of wheat in other countries, therefore, we should import wheat. We should not abandon production of wheat in this country. We should do everything possible even if it means subsidizing wheat production in Kenya to continue producing it. If our consumption of wheat is merely about 15 to 20 million bags and our production is about four million bags, you will find that production is insignificant. But it is very important to the farmers who are dependent on wheat production. So, we can afford to subsidize that small quantity of production, so that we do not kill wheat farming. I know when we talk of trade many people say there should be no subsidies. But in agriculture, we cannot run away from subsidizing production."
