"content": "(3) State whether the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries has undertaken the repairs and maintainance of stores and silos, as recommended by the Senate ad hoc Committee on the Maize Crisis in 2018. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we raise this because of the fact that while some parts of Kenya have plenty of food, other parts do not have anything. One of the challenges that the Cabinet Secretary (CS) said was on the agenda, was of repairing the silos and stores. The status is what we need to know. (4) Explain what logistical and operational preparations have been put in place to receive the cereals that is currently being harvested or is about to be harvested. My colleague, the Senator from Bungoma has had this nightmare with me, because they have already started harvesting, while the other areas are going to harvest very soon. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when we talk of logistics, the President has already assented The Warehouse Receipt Systems Bill, 2018. Having done that, cereal farmers are expecting harvests soon, and we were expecting that the warehouses to be ready by now. This is an issue that we also raised last year when we were investigating the maize crisis. We need to know where they have reached."
