    "content": "In a bid to stem the problems above, the Government has taken various measures, including having the revival of cotton sub-sector as a pillar in the Vision 2030 blueprint. The aim of this Government led initiative is to reduce poverty because the cotton crop grows well in semi-arid and arid areas which account for 8 per cent of Kenyan land occupied by a heavily impoverished populace. Unfortunately, these measures have not been able to revive the cotton industry and restore it as the economic giant it was in the previous times. The Senate Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries has also continued to engage the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries in a bid to ensure a lasting solution to the problems that plague the cotton industry and agriculture in general."
