"content": "kujua. Ziliwaletea maradhi mengi ya kutamausha kama vile kansa. Katika ubora wa bidhaa, tuwe na viwanda vyetu Kenya ambavyo vitaweza kufanya uchunguzi wa kutosha ili wakulima wajue mbolea zinazotoka humo ni bora kwa afya na mazingira. Tukiwa na viwanda vyetu vya mbolea, afya yetu na mazingira yatakuwa sawa kwa sababu hivyo viwanda vitaangalia ubora wa bidhaa zao katika taifa letu. Udongo wetu ni tofauti na udongo wa mataifa tunayonunua mbolea. Tukiwa na viwanda vyetu, udongo wetu utaangaliwa jinsi unavyozalisha; ikiongezwa mbolea ipi itakuwa na afadhali katika mazao au italeta madhara gani. Kwa hivyo, viwanda vyetu vitatengeneza mbolea inayoridhiana na udongo wetu. Mhe. Atandi alisema kuwa miaka miwili iliyopita, Kenya ilitumia takriban Ksh50 bilioni kuleta mbolea za bei ya kupungua katika mpango wa subsidy . Mpaka sasa, wakulima wanapanga foleni ya kutafuta mbolea katika National Cereals and Produce Board. Wengine wanakesha ili wapate mbolea kwa bei nafuu. Tukiongeza viwanda vyetu, haya mapeni ambayo tunapeleka mataifa ya nje tutatumia hapa nyumbani kuboresha mbolea yetu na kuiuza kwa bei nafuu kwa sababu ya kuwa na viwanda vya kutosha. Kwa hivyo, tutapunguza bajeti ya kuagiza bidhaa kutoka nje. Tukiagiza bidhaa kutoka nje, tunatumia pesa nyingi katika clearance mipakani pamoja na mambo mengi mengine. Wakati mwingine mbolea hukaa bandarini kwa muda mrefu ikingoja clearance huku wakulima wakisubiri kupata mbolea hiyo. Viwanda vyetu vikiongezwa, wakulima wataweza kuenda kwa kiwanda chochote kununua mbolea ili walime kwa wakati mwafaka. Leo, wakulima wengi wanalalamika kuwa mvua imeanza na wamelima mashamba japo hawawezi kupanda kwa sababu ya ukosefu wa mbolea. Tukiweza kutengeneza mbolea hapa nyumbani, itarahisisha wakulima kupata mbolea kwa wepesi, kulima, na kupanda kwa wakati. Hili litazidisha uchumi wa taifa letu. Ilivyo sasa, tunapeleka pesa nyingi nje ya nchi. Ikiwa tutafanya bajeti yetu na pesa izunguke nchini, faida kubwa itarudi katika taifa letu na tutapunguza maradhi. Kina mama hulazwa mahospitali kwa sababu ya vyakula wanavyokula vilivyo pandwa kwa kutumia mbolea kutoka ng’ambo. Alivyosema Mhe. Gladys Sholei, hivyo ni chanzo cha maradhi hapa Kenya. Ubora wa ardhi yetu umepotea kwa sababu ya mbolea tunazotumia. Zimeharibu mazingira. Maji yanayotoka katika udongo huo na kuingia katika mito yetu inanywewa ilhali ina sumu kwa sababu ya mbolea zinazotumiwa kutoka nje ya taifa letu. Sumu hii hupatikana katika vyakula vyetu tunavyokula. Watu wengi wamepatwa na maradhi na kupoteza maisha kutokana na vyakula hivi. Naunga mkono Hoja hii. Vijana watapata ajira, afya itakuwa bora, vyakula vitakuwa kwa wingi katika taifa na malalamishi yatapungua. Mtu yeyote mwenye njaa lazima atapiga kelele. Hata hivyo, akishiba chakula kizuri kisichoweza kumletea maradhi, atatulia. Katika hospitali zetu, foleni za watu walio na maradhi itokanayo na vyakula vilivyoingia sumu zitapungua. Nampongeza sana Mhe. Atandi kwa kuleta Hoja hii ambayo ni muhimu sana kwa Wakenya. Napendekeza kuwa wakulima waangaliwe vizuri kwa sababu wao ndio watakaotupa lishe bora na kufanya Wakenya wawe na shibe. Tukifungua viwanda vyetu, bei ya mbolea itashuka. Wengi hupanga foleni kule National Cereals and Produce Board kutafuta mbolea kwa sababu mbolea huko ni bei nafuu. Tukifungua viwanda vyetu na tupunguze bei, tutawafanyia nafuu na watalima wakiwa na raha. Mazao yao shambani yatatoka vizuri na Kenya itastawi. Tusemavyo, ukulima ndio uti wa mgongo wa taifa. Wakulima wakiwa na raha, Wakenya pia watakuwa na furaha. Ahsante sana."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for allowing me to contribute and to welcome students from different schools. It is great for young people to come and see what happens here in Parliament. It is through this that they learn. I welcome them to observe the proceedings of Parliament and encourage them to work hard in their studies so that they can become great people in the future. Some of us come from humble backgrounds and it was not easy for us to study, but today, we are here legislating and figuring the best way to run this Government. It is, therefore, upon our students, parents, and teachers to combine efforts so that they can be great people in the future, some of whom will represent the nation in this Parliament. I wish you all the best as you study hard and I encourage the teachers because many of us are who we are because of the investment that teachers made. I also encourage parents to continue supporting their children. Hon. Temporary Speaker, production and manufacturing of fertilisers in our country is the most important thing that we are discussing today. I encourage many of us to debate this because many Kenyans are farmers who depend on our contribution and guidance. Through our contributions, we can guide the country in the right direction. I also congratulate Hon. Atandi for coming up with this timely Motion. It is my prayer that the Committee gives this all the attention it deserves and that it will be implemented soon. As I said, many Kenyans depend on farming. Although these days we cannot depend a lot on rains, many Kenyans have educated their children through farming and many are still passionate about it. Unfortunately, the youth today are not interested in farming even though that is the only economic activity we can invest in to earn a living. It is the only sector we can create employment for our youth and grown-ups who are taking care of their families and looking for funds. It is unfortunate that the country currently depends on imported products. Sixty years after Independence, we are still importing fertilier. We are promoting other people and creating employment for them yet we are denying our locals that opportunity. The more we encourage local manufacturers, the better for our country. This will enable us to harvest more. When we depend on external manufacturers and importation, sometimes there are delays. For instance, presently, farmers want to plant have no fertilisers. Cartels have taken advantage and interfered a lot, which is disadvantageous to our farmers. If we have local manufacturers, production will be done on time and everything will be favourable including the soil. The farmers will buy at a cheaper rate than what we are currently spending which in turn means creation of employment opportunities for our people and use of our resources to manufacture fertilisers. It also means timely release of fertilisers to the farmers. Hon. Temporary Speaker, when we produce our own fertiliers, we will have quick solutions to the challenges that arise during planting and other stages. We will also increase our food production because farmers will easily collect their fertilisers for use. Local production and manufacturing will also foster economic growth. Currently, our country is going through a lot. When the Government subsidised fertilisers, our food production increased. I encourage the Government, especially our President, who is so passionate, to continue with the same passion because it is only through such subsidies that our country can The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

I agree with the Motion that the national Government, through the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development, supports and promotes local fertiliser manufacturing industries by investing in research and development to boost the domestic fertiliser manufacturing sector. That is the only way we can create wealth, grow our farmers, and utilise the skills of our youth who are knowledgeable in farming, agribusiness and research. With those few remarks, I support."

I come from a very important region in this country, Uasin Gishu County, the bread-basket of Kenya. Fertilier is a very key component in my region. When the current Government came in place, it gave farmers promises and one of them was fertiliser subsidy. That was a way of building capacity for farmers so that they could increase productivity. I am a product of maize farming because that is how I was educated and I am a professor courtesy of my parents planting maize. It is unfortunate that…"
