(Dr.) Eseli Simiyu","speaker":{"id":141,"legal_name":"David Eseli Simiyu","slug":"david-eseli"},"content":"Hon. Speaker, I seek your direction that the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock takes up this matter urgently and brings a report to this House so that we can know whether, as a Parliament, we need to intervene to ensure the institution survives. As I speak, employees go for months without salaries. It is not in a very good situation. When I went there, compared to the times I have been there before, it looked like a ghost estate where nothing is going on. That is very dangerous. I believe the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock is up to the task and can investigate and give us a report on what needs to be urgently done to resuscitate that institution. I believe when the report is brought here, the Leader of the Minority Party will take his respectful place and not confuse Hon. Korere on where she belongs."}
