    "content": "the farming lot. After all, agriculture is a fully devolved. Agriculture is the main backbone of our society and our country. It is one of the biggest earners of foreign exchange. We need to get the value for our tea, coffee and pyrethrum. Infrastructure and value addition to our agricultural products is critical instead of selling them at throwaway prices. Our milk prices are not attractive, yet farmers are being encouraged to keep dairy animals. When they sell the milk to the milk vans, we do not get the equivalent of the value or investment that a farmer has made to those items. This is one of the areas where county governments need to make deliberate efforts to address some of these issues that affect infrastructure development in our counties. We our farmers and residents in counties to prosper. We have the urban centres that need to grow. The issue of garbage collection, disposal and turning it into products that can be generated from processing it, is critical. For instance, in Nairobi, the garbage mount that you see in various areas is enough to create energy for this town if it can be harnessed. The one in Eastlands has been left unattended and we see garbage littered all over. We need to harness the garbage for useful clean energy production, then we will not have to spend money on some of the gases. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support this Bill. It is an elaborated Bill with 88 clauses touching on every corner of the problems that we have noted."
