    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this Statement by Sen. (Dr.) Milgo. She has brought an important Statement on the Floor of this House about food security. Honestly, food security is an issue that we should be concerned about every time, with or without COVID-19. Internationally, Kenya is among the countries that ratified the Maputo Declaration that affirmed that 10 per cent of the national revenue will go to agriculture. So, there is need for us as a country to ensure that we support our farmers. While doing so, county governments need to take the lead. They need to ensure that they support and help farmers get exit for their products. This is because there are parts of this country where farmers have a lot of food, but they do not know where to take it. Sometimes some farmers even give avocados to cows because they do not know where to take them. So, there is need to for them to have an exit for their food. When it comes to the urban population, the demand for food is met by the farmers in mashinani . So, there is need for them to be supported and encouraged in their endeavour, because they form a significant part of people in this country."
