    "content": "more than 50 years of age, and that is unfortunate. We have to stop the use of agrarian system of agricultural farming in this country. We have to look for ways of making the young people appreciate farming. We can use modern technology to produce more. That is what we are looking forward to. We do not want Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) to get into the country. Instead, we can have a better way of improving the quality of maize or any other crops by involving the younger farmers. The entire North Rift and the other regions that plant maize are looking up to the Senate to provide direction. During vetting, we realised that most farmers have died because of high blood pressure. Many are unable take their children to school and cannot pay their bills because EACC and DCI are still conducting investigations. It is sad that we introduced a vetting process. For some us who come from the region, you can be in possession of land but not be the owner. However, they are saying that, for example, Village ‘A’ should deliver certain amounts of maize. They are also saying that one should have a letter from the chief, assistant chief or kokwet elder. They can even say that you should have a letter from your pastor, priest or Imam. We know that some chiefs would want a sheep or goat, so that they can write you a letter."
