    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, this House, knowing that agriculture is devolved must start looking at the farmer as a client to the Senate. That way, protection of the farmer is not just from those of us who come from the farming communities. It should be an agenda for this Senate to consider these farmers as our main clients. They should not only be looked at as citizens of this country, but as real clients for food security. That is because you cannot talk of food security, if you cannot produce food for your people, particularly if you have the capacity to produce. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the sad part is that we have food security as one of the items of the Big Four Agenda. We have the capacity for the maize growing zones of this country to produce enough maize for the country. However, because of the lack of support that these farmers would have enjoyed from the county governments and the national Government, they have reduced their capacity to almost 50 per cent."
