The best they can do is to go to another county. They go to Kisumu to buy cane and yet, there are cane farmers in Ndhiwa. The farmers have their cane in the farms and cannot be harvested. When you go to the surrounding constituencies like Uriri, the story is the same. So, I think I will bring a request for statement to this House to ask the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock to ... view
• 1 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I welcome the gesture by the Vice Chairperson of this Committee in suggesting that they will be ready with the Report in 21 days. Hon. Speaker, I am sure you listened to the statement request by Hon. Kaluma.

• 30 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: By the way, we are still in Parliament even if it is the Committee of the whole House.

It is not something that you float like any other tender or supplies of goods and services. This is something you can particularly target individuals who have the capacity to do it.
