    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to second this Sessional Paper No. 2 of 2021 on the National Agricultural Policy. As has been clearly articulated by the Deputy Whip of the Majority Party, Hon. Naomi Waqo, this policy speaks to one of the key areas of our economy - agriculture. If Members listened carefully, there is an appreciation that agriculture is one of the functions that was devolved to our county governments. There is need to have a clear national policy on how we can transact business between the national Government and our county governments; and policy issues under the new Constitution being harboured in the Ministries such as this one for agriculture. It is, therefore, important that Ministries develop a sessional paper like this one that will guide us, as a nation, on how we can grow our agriculture and make it meaningful not only to the farmers, but also to our economy and to the millions of consumers of food who are the population that has send us to represent them in this House."
