    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to take this opportunity to congratulate the Minister for Agriculture on her new appointment. I rise to support the Motion and to say that food security must never be compromised and every effort must be made deliberately to ensure that our country is food-secured. It is regrettable that we still do not have a well-capacitated budget office that would effectively allocate funds where they are needed most. With an investment in the agriculture sector through irrigation, because the old story we keep on hearing is that we did not meet our target because of drought, it is important that we get over this once and for all. By ensuring that we have irrigation-based agriculture, we will secure our food security. We will also increase on our GDP. You know agriculture is very critical. It is the most significant contributor to our GDP. Thirdly, we will ensure employment. This country has always got its priorities wrong. The amount of money we spend on relief food would better be invested in a more sustainable food production. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
