or casual labour jobs. How can they save when they hardly get enough to sustain them? It is embarrassing when those who have worked so hard to pay taxes in this country and contribute to the GDP, when they retire, they are given a jembe and spade. It is a shame. This will be the best gift for them after working for so many years.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Question is about dairy farmers, and was sent to the Ministry of Co-operative Development. So, I would like to have some advice as to whether I should address the Question as relating to dairy co-operatives or to dairy farmers?

I beg to answer. (a) Three dairy co-operative societies in Lari Constituency are owed Kshs4,110,511 by Westlands Dairy Limited, a private milk processor. This debt is still outstanding to the three co-operative societies because Westlands Dairy Limited was put under receivership and subsequently sold to a second owner. (b)The three dairy co-operative societies owed money by Westlands Dairy Limited were advised to seek legal redress because the contract was between the co- operative societies and a private entity.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Ministry of Co-operative Development and Marketing comes in only when it is Westlands Dairy Limited who have not paid money. The hon. Member should say who owes these farmers the money then. According to the way the Question is framed, it is asking about Westlands Dairy Limited, who owes money to three co-operative societies. We deal with co-operative societies in the Ministry. Kirita, Gatamaiyo and Kinale Dairy Farmers Co-operative Societies had supplied milk between the period 1999-2000; to Westlands Dairy Limited.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I can only advise my colleague to get the 31 farmers who supplied milk to Western Dairies to get legal redress. Maybe they need to see the Attorney-General. I talk on behalf of Dairy Cooperative Societies.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member does not seem to know that Ms. Karua did resign. He is misleading the House.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion of Adjournment, which is quite overdue, considering that there is a lot that we need to go and do on the ground, especially laying out the proposals for the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) money that we anticipate to be allocated very soon.
