    "content": "Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank the distinguished Senator for Nyandarua for bringing this question and seeking a Statement at this time. We have heard excess rains this year. Even as the rains have caused devastation elsewhere, we also have a silver lining. It should be a boon to dairy farmers. The Chairperson of the Committee in answering this question must explain what happened to Kenya Co-operative Creameries (KCC) that was owned by farmers. Anytime there was a glut of milk in the country, the KCC bought the milk, processed it into powder milk, stored it for longer life and converted it to liquid milk when there was drought to cushion consumers on the market and stabilize prices. This is the only country, when the farmer has a boon in production, he or she suffers even more. Today, even farmers in the Arid and Semi-Arid land (ASAL) areas like Kajiado, Narok with the full range, farmers should be smiling all the way to the bank with their milk because there is plenty of fodder and the animals are producing milk."
