    "content": "went on the ground and saw what is happening there. If the Government cannot see the problems, who is supposed to implement the recommendations? The middlemen in the tea, cotton, rice and fishing sectors are suffering. Tomorrow, we shall be borrowing. Today, we are importing food, yet we have fertile land, we have been blessed with rainy seasons and a climate that favours agriculture. We need to rethink about it. We talk, but do not implement. We go to the ground and bring reports to this House. I would urge that we come up with an Implementation Committee so that can follow up on the implementation of reports. We can then ask that Committee, “The ad hoc Committee recommended this; has it been implemented?” Likewise, since the Government hears what we talk about, let it take this burden and go ahead to save the Kenyan farmers who are suffering. Their children will never go to school and most of the people will have the omba omba syndrome. For how long will we borrow? We shall continue importing sugar and tea, yet we have the best? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I hope Kenyans have heard what we are saying here. The best thing would be for the recommendations to be implemented. I beg to support the Report."
