    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I disagree with the point that what we have done is actually to export jobs. I have repeated - and I want to do it again - that Kenya produced, to be precise, 337,000 tonnes in 2008 against the consumption in Kenya alone of more than 950,000 tonnes. For the region, we are only producing in terms of wheat, 20 per cent of our demands. I agree that through the Ministry of Agriculture, we need to do everything possible to see how we can expand wheat production. Indeed, I believe they have their own programme and we, as the Ministry, will support them in that particular endeavour. But currently as we stand, we are not producing adequate wheat for our own home market and that of the region and, hence, until such a time as the region is producing adequate quantities, then we can say that we can add and increase that tariff in order to protect local farmers in Kenya and, indeed, throughout the region."
