"content": "When we complete the Thwake Dam, which is being done in Makueni and Kitui, we are going to increase production. We know what is happening in Kulalu-Galana Irrigation Scheme. If we have value addition, for example, the case of maize - we process maize to flour in an organised manner - then we are likely to achieve what this Motion is urging. So, the main idea is to reorganise. Since they have talked of collapsed cooperatives, the Ministry of Cooperatives should be challenged once more through the Commissioner of Cooperatives, who is a very important person under the Cooperatives Act. He can reorganise the cooperatives and still work with other partners such as the federations that are being proposed here, so that we have an overall organisation that will make value addition better and improve the systems of farming. The Crops Act is quoted here. We now have the Agriculture and Food Authority (AFA) and we can reorganise ourselves."
