• 31 Jul 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, extension services are one of the priority functions of the agricultural sector. There have been multiplicities of extension services providers that have come up in the last 20 years to fill in the gap created by embargoes on recruitment in the Civil Service during that time.

Furthermore, the extension services have been lethargic with little or no regard to the entire value chain, a prerequisite in the transformation of ... view

They want to quantify the seeds that have been used. That exercise is in progress. So, until we gather that information, we are not in a position to say how many farmers have been affected. The findings of that exercise will be brought to this House. view
