    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you can hear that the Assistant Minister’s answer is not adequate. I would like to give statistics, so that Members of this House know exactly what is going on. This year, Narok North and Narok South has more than 500,000 hectares of wheat which is ready for harvest. They expect to produce 1.4 million bags of wheat; Uasin Gishu expects to produce one million. The rest of Kenya such as Ol Kalou, Nyahururu and other areas will produce another 500,000 bags of wheat. The total production for this year will be not less than three million bags. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, consumption of wheat in Kenya is 800,000 tonnes. Out of this, one-third is produced locally, which turns out to be the 300,000 bags of wheat I am talking about. Millers have started to import wheat from Eastern Europe at the rate of 240 dollars per tonne, which will sell at the price of Kshs2,500 per bag. The local millers are offering the Kenyan farmer, Kshs1900 and not Kshs2,500 which is offered by farmers in Eastern Europe. Now they are saying you take it or leave it. So, it is at the whims of the millers that the farmers can sell."
