I have planted 15 acres of Muguka. I had a discussion with Sen. Faki sometime back on the farming of Muguka. I went as far as offering him one acre of my farm so that he can also benefit from the crop.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, please protect the communities in Meru, Tharaka-Nithi and Embu counties, which grow this crop, so that Kenyans do not have a problem ...
