Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I must appreciate the Dairy Board for doing a very good job in my constituency. It has done away with the middlemen who have been going round collecting milk from farmers at the farmers’ expense. The Kenya Dairy Board has done something and the price of milk has gone up.

As hon. Muhia has indicated, we support that the price should be, at least, Kshs45. Let them go up so that our farmers can benefit. I would like to remind my friend, hon. Kimaru that, all the time, he compared milk with water. He said that half a litre of water costs about Kshs60 while one litre of milk costs Kshs27. Both products are very important. Scientists say that about 70 per cent of our body mass is made up of water. So, milk is also nutritious.

I would like to tell the Government to pay farmers, at least, Kshs45, so that they can continue farming and take their children to school.

Otherwise, I support this Motion as amended. We want the Government to do something for the farmers.

Thank you, hon. Chairlady. Some of us are businessmen. We know how KRA deals with some of us. So, let us take into account two days of the weekend. Assuming that a public holiday falls on a Sunday, Monday will also be a holiday. So, let us provide for four to five days, so that we can take care of ourselves. As Members of Parliament, we need to take care of the taxpayers as well as the Government. We should not be one-sided. So, I support the idea of five days. The minimum should be four days.

Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion, although the hon. Member has really politicized the matter by naming a good number of Kenyans, including former President Moi and Elijah Bii, who is my constituent. It is unfortunate but the Motion is good.

The hon. Member has not mentioned Jaramogi Oginga Odinga and yet, he received something small. I do not know why he has not done that. I do not want to say the reason.
