"content": "The ministry concerned should take the audit of the farmers to know how many are in each sector. As Members have said, we need to know the number of farmers in this country. We can recall a scandal that happened last year about the Government buying maize from outside this country and failing to buy from the maize farmers in this country. There are people who play the role of supplying maize to the Government and yet they are not farmers, have never stepped into a farm or suffered. So, the ministry concerned should take an audit of all farmers and their farms, whether they are in Trans Nzoia, Uasin Gishu, Lodwar or wherever they are. They should get the farmers’ names, farm acreage and what they plant on their land. So, whenever guys import cheap maize into this country, they should be asked where their farms are, so that farmers can be protected."
