    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the implication is that the level of crime will certainly increase because people have to live and fend for their families. Young men will look for alternative means of putting food on the table for their families. The Government of the day must arrest and give the situation priority. Government of the day here means the Executive and even Parliament. In whatever that we do in our role as legislators, we must ensure we come up with solutions to this problem. We should not just leave it to the Executive. Of course, the bigger part is supposed to be played by the Executive. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Cherargei put it very well that one of the ways to arrest this is for the Government to ensure subsidies in farm inputs. Where you, Mr. Speaker and I, come from, this is a planting season. Many farmers have not planted because of the price of inputs. They cannot afford the seedlings or fertilizer. What is the Government doing about this? Absolutely nothing! Nothing is happening in both the national and county governments where we come from. Farmers cannot plant. What do we expect if they do not plant during this planting season? There is going to be serious famine."
