    "content": "As Senators, we are the custodians of devolution. Is there a possibility to come up with legal interventions? I hope the Chairperson of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries my good friend, Sen. Ndwiga, will come up with a way forward. Is there an option for price controls or regulations? Going forward, as we go into conversations or proposals of Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) that was launched by the President, we should demand for long-term and shared prosperity of prices for products that are produced by farmers. We want maize, milk, coffee and tea prices to be stable. When the time comes to engage on the BBI, we should ensure that prices of produce and issues of farmers are captured. It should not only be about sharing power or creation of new structures. We need to have a shared prosperity around the issues of farmers who are on an average, about 54 to 55 years. We should also encourage young people to engage in farming or agribusiness. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to contribute to this Statement. I support."
