"content": "Currently, the status of agriculture in our county and probably, in my Constituency is not good. At the end of the day, we have been able to divide and sub-divide the agricultural land that was meant to produce food for the people in the constituency and the county. There has been an issue; people have been trying to sub-divide land because probably whatever they are producing is not beneficial to their income, or it does not tally with whatever they are putting into their farming. They are not able to survive with the harvest they have been getting from their farms. We are known, and we must support the Motion even if will mean mapping out areas that are meant to produce food for our people. As we speak now, I think we are in danger. When we were growing up, we used to pluck coffee beans in big farms within the constituency and the county. That is what we were depending on. The farmers were paid something that could benefit them and help workers in their farms. The current status is that it is no longer attainable. That is why they are sub-dividing land and building flats and houses so that they can support their families."
