    "content": "I encourage the delegation from Narok, who are potatoes and barley farmers, that they are in the right track. As you are aware, potato farming falls directly under agricultural crops. Agriculture is devolved. When we talk about devolution, that is the work that we do here in the Senate. We protect the counties and agriculture falls directly under us. Your Senator here does a lot to protect you as citizens of Narok. You have chosen the right leader. He is a leader I would admire if I were a citizen of Narok County. Re- elect him so that he can continue with the good work that he started. Despite the fact that every term must end, always think about what your leader has done for you. Re-elect him because he deserves it. Agriculture plays a very vital role. We are looking at agriculture employing around 40 per cent of Kenyan citizenry. Therefore, you are employers of your own people. I encourage you to continue because potatoes and barley are just part of the farm products that we encourage our citizens to plant. Even when it comes to importation, they contribute much to the economy of this country. In conclusion, farmers enjoy their products when the economy is good. We are praying that the economy of Kenya improves, especially in the agricultural sector. Feel most welcome and at home. I urge you to re-elect Sen. Olekina, so that he can come here and we continue working together."
