Another point, is on loans. Hii Serikali yetu ya Kenya, inapendelea sana kuleta mikopo. Mikopo ya chakula, wakati wa shida
tuseme, ningependa Serikali ichukue hatua ya kuwa, ikichukua mikopo, there must be something which is being established.
Instead of kulete mikopo, tuseme kama ni ukosefu wa chakula, tupewe chakula na labda mwananchi wa kawaida hatapata kitu,
na shida haitaisha. Kwa hivyo, ningependekeza hivi, irrigation schemes, because najua in Kenya, our land is capable. Yaani
mashamba ya nchi ya Kenya iko na rotuba, kwa hivyo ningependeza nyikani, pande za Isiolo, Marsabit na kuendelea, si
mchanga ambao ni shida, lakini it is because there is no water there, or lack of reliable rainfall. Kwa hivyo, ningependekeza
mikopi hii inakuja in the name of food, iwe inaombwa, ama if the Parliament will sign for that or whoever will sign for that (a
mwenye ata – sign- for hiyo mkopo ikuje), awe aweanazingatia kile kinaweza saidia miaka na miaka, for example, Huko
nyikani kuna rotuba lakini hakuna maji. Hiyo misaada inakuja inafaaitengeneze some schemes, irrigation schemes huko, watu
wanapata maji ya kunyunyuzia huko.
My last point is that the period of being in remand should be reduced. Unaona watu wanakaa rumande wiki mbili. Labda
when my case will be final, labda nitawachiliwa kwenda nyumbani, lakini nimekaa rumande tuseme miezi miwili. Narudishwa
huko, na kukaa wiki mbili, nakuja kotini, nakataa kuitikia, narudishwa huko. Baadaye labda sitapatikana na makosa. I have
wasted a lot of time. Tuseme nilikuwa na kazi nafanya, ama tuseme there was an opportunity, may be nilikwa nafanya kazi
fulani, hiyo kazi nitaiacha na niende nikae rumande mwezi mmoja na sifanyi kitu huko. Nikija itanibidi nirudie ile shughuli
nilikuwa nayo, so I would suggest that the period ya kukaa rumande should be reduced from two weeks. Asante.
Com. Lenaola: Kuna swali, ngoja kidogo.
Com. Nunow: Lawrence, I would like you to clarify the last statement that you made, regarding the remand period. You said
it should be reduced from two weeks, to what? What would you consider to be the maximum period somebody should remain
in remand, if he has been convicted or released?
Lawrence: I would can suggest this, either three days or bond, awe na bond awe ana attend case akiwa huko.
Com Lenaola: Asante sana, Lawrence. Eliud Mbugwa Mburugu, Stephen Mburugu. Halafu Muthoni Muriithi ukiwa tayari.
Stephen Mburugu: My names are Stephen K. Mburugu. These are the points from Nduruma Location, Boshosi East
Division, Central Imenti Constituency in Meru Central District.
The points are many, but I will read afew. Coffee like any other crop, for example Tobacco, cotton etc should have their prices
controlled, according to their classes and grades. To allow the farmers get good money, some coffee reduction should be
minimized for example, county council sales, milling charges, coffee board sales deductions etc. National Coffee Leaders
should be elected from the societies to the national levels. Any coffee donations, like the ones which came from the Eropean
