There is no product that we grow in this country that we can say with confidence that has a good price; starting from maize, tomatoes, coffee, tea, sugarcane, miraa and potatoes. I take this opportunity to urge Members of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries--- I have confidence with the insights that the Chairperson of the Committee gave us concerning what is happening in agriculture. I am sure that he is up to the task and he will deliver. I keep asking myself: Are we producing so much than we can consume or is there a problem in this ...

Mr. Speaker Sir, if you come to Laikipia, the price of maize is Kshs800. This amount is less than what the farmer used to grow this maize. The same applies to coffee and tea. Kenyans are suffering. We are asking the committee that will be responsible to look into these details so that we can give a lasting solution. The Senator for Kirinyaga was quick to say that we do not want temporary measures; we want permanent measures to be taken. As country, we keep talking about agriculture as the backbone of this country. This should be seen to be ...

Asante sana Bw. Spika. Nasimama kuunga mkono Tarifa hii. Hii imekuwa kama swala sugu kwa watu wa Tana River. Kila wakati, haya mabawa yanapovuja, yanaenda yanabeba hawa ndugu zetu wa Tana River.

Kwa hivyo, serikali inafa kuchukua mikakati ya kuduma kwa sababu hatua kubwa ya Serikali ni kulinda maisha ya wananchi. Haifai Serikali kuamka wakati jambo kama hili limetokea. Serikali sasa inapeleka malazi, chakula na vitu vingine, ni kama kwamba jambo la dharura limetokea, ilhali watu hawa wangesaidiwa kabla ya haya maneno kutendeka.
