    "content": "Cooperatives and farmers’ associations are all private entities. The Government facilitates and gives budgetary support to these organisations which are private in nature. There are many ways the national Government can support this through expertise and through many programmes that are run through the Ministry of Agriculture, some of them sponsored by different organisations such as donors who have done a number of good activities in many counties in the country. They have done dairies for farmers such as the one done by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in Makueni Constituency at a place called Kathonzweni. Farmers are utilising this facility which cost Kshs74 million. It shows that there are many organisations in Kenya which can support farmers in many different ways. Kenya, being an agriculture-based economy, can do very well if these things are reorganised as this Motion is urging. For example, for sugarcane, rice, coffee and tea farmers. With increased irrigation, we are increasing the food baskets in different parts of Kenya."
