"content": "must do as a country to improve earning is to get away from this injection of lot of resources on capital intensive projects. We have done enough such as the superhighway, railway, by-passes et cetera . It is time to inject our resources directly to where results will lead to pesa mfukoni so that people will have money directly in their pocket and be able to contribute to the economy from the source. Let us have good feeds, agricultural extension officers and good marketing done either by county or national Government using the agencies established by law. If we do so, we will change the lives of our people because even though we have a small percentage of Kenyans with degrees and looking for jobs, it is clear that we are unable to absorb all these people in the job market. What are we going to do with these young people? We must train them and tell them when done with your business, agriculture course or even law degree. One of my friends who is running now for Member of Parliament (MP) in Murang’a, Mr. James Mureu, runs one of the biggest law firms in the world, but he is a very serious farmer. Sen. Wako and Sen. Omogeni know him because he runs one of the biggest law firms in Africa. Mr. Mureu is also a horticulture farmer in Naivasha. He exports horticultural produce to Europe. Agriculture is profitable. It can employ our youth. We must take what Sen. Khaniri has said seriously. We must go back in the next government either county or national to ensure that we make agriculture the centre of youth employment; from bottom up. I thank you."
