    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just want to develop it to show the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance that he is out of order. He is out of order by saying that it is in the wrong Ministry. We have killed our rice industry because we never gave our farmers incentives to develop production of rice that is sufficient for the region. It is the same thing with maize and wheat. The farmers cannot produce if they cannot get the right prices and the right Government protection. You need the fiscal policies. Is the Minister in order to tell us that this matter is addressed to the wrong Ministry when the tariffs that he has accepted have allowed Uganda and other rice- producing countries to give more incentives to their rice farmers so that they can produce more rice? He has, in fact, slapped a punitive tax on importation of rice and made it easier for them to produce more rice. He has allowed foreigners to come and compete with us because he lowered tariffs on the rice. Is it in order for him to say that that matter does not fall within his Ministry? Is it also in order for him to say that it is not helping our people?"
