    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Member for bestowing yet another title on me - spokeswoman of the farmers. Thank you for that. I have already said, and I want to say it again, that we are trying to subsidize fertilizer so that farmers can be able to produce competitively. That is not new. It has been done for the last two years in the Ministry. We are fighting to see that we have sufficient resources to do so. Since you have talked about the other side which has to do with the Strategic Grain Reserve, yes, I may be the spokesperson for the Ministry of Agriculture. But you do know that, that is not under the Ministry of Agriculture. However, we will try our best to coordinate with our colleagues who have those responsibilities. The overriding message and intention is to see that the Kenyan farmer does not get driven under. As you know, there are many countries within this Continent which, a few years ago, were buying and learning from us. Today, we are importing from them. It is the duty of all of us, and I specifically, to see that we reverse the trend that we have set in motion over the past few years for whatever reason and pay attention to our own farmers and, therefore, our own country."
