Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Bill. Pension assists people who are aged, especially when they retire. When pension was set for somebody who has retired, it was so that somebody should benefit during their old age. That is because they have expenses to cater for. They have children to cater for. Also, there are abnormalities that follow aged people. That is why there is pension. There is need to give pension in good time. The Government takes a long time to give out pension to most people who retire. Somebody ...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice on what my Chair has already alluded to. As a Committee, we have been following what is happening in the FKF and the extent they have gone in killing this sport. When we were already getting to the bottom of the whole thing, another entity came in and started interrogating them. I do not know the findings they were looking for.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to comment on the first Petition with regards to livestock, farming and expenses. The agriculture and livestock sub-sector is one of the biggest employers in this country; where most of the citizens in the country-side stay. The products which come from agriculture and especially livestock are so expensive that you can never make ends meet.

We should also check against importing what can be produced locally. We do not have to import things from outside for the sake of it. We need to put control measures so that we can sell the inputs cheaply, produce them locally and consume them here so that farmers can benefit. I support the petition.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to support the Petition on animal feeds import in this country and their prices. Farmers in this country will always import animal feeds because of the high cost. Why do these farmers import from foreign countries? This is because our neighboring countries governments are interested in their farmers and that is why farm feeds are very favorable in those countries. The Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock should recommend that the Government lowers taxes on the animal feeds ingredients, so farmers in this country can be encouraged to produce more. Secondly, farming equipment is ...
