have never been to the Kingdom of Lesotho and I have read interesting things about them. I would wish to go and see those things live. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on that trip, I would wish to be accompanied by the Deputy Minority Whip, Sen. Sifuna, because I know he loves those kinds of things as well. I thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to comment on this statement by Sen. Olekina on the importation of wheat. We have just had our elections and members are about to take over their responsibilities. There must be a proper plan and guidance for the country. Listening to many of my colleagues this afternoon, it is clear they do not understand that certain matters are beyond the reach of Kenya alone. This is because the legal notice that Sen. Olekina is referring to is an East African Community (EAC) regional notice, which Kenya is a signatory to. It is not ...

Thank you for that additional information. Sen. Olekina, you agree with what I said that, it is beyond Kenya alone to make certain decisions. We know what we are good at. Sen.

Unfortunately, or fortunately for the Kenyan people, thanks to the overproduction on our side, that market is not available. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is ...

What we expect from our Cabinet Secretaries, which is the point that I wanted to make before you volunteered additional information, is to bring this information to the fore. However, Sen. Olekina, there is a question that we must ask ourselves. What is it that makes these millers prefer to bring wheat or whatever they are importing from out of the country in total disregard of locally available stocks? Once that question is answered, we will help our farmers produce. Is it a question of quality? Is it a question of price? Whatever the case might be, our millers prefer ...
