• 13 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Senate Minority Leader is always trying to distract people. I appreciate the predicament that our brother, Deputy Chairperson of the Committee on Lands and Natural Resources is in. I am also the Chairperson of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries. Sometimes we do not get responses from the Ministry when we want. However, merely writing a letter is not enough.

The answer to this one is that the Government is not able to give assurance of availability of subsidized fertilizer to tea farmers as a result of budgetary constraints in the current financial year. (2) The cost of a 50 kilogrammes bag of fertilizer in each of the tea growing zones is ... view
• 1 Oct 2015 in Senate: (6) Whether the Government is considering waving the cost of handling storage and other charges levied on fertilizers so as to ease the financial burden of farmers.
