"content": "Turkana. I can deliver my maize to Turkana County within a day. We do not need to import form Mozambique; the way WFP is doing. In that way, we are giving out our foreign exchange because we are buying using the dollar. Why can we not give that money to the local farmer? This House should stand with farmers. My brothers and sisters; Sen. Chute, Sen. Abass, Sen. Lomenen and many other colleagues that come from that region, including yourself, let us support local farmers. If we stand with the farmers and subsidize production over consumption, I can assure you that no Kenyan shall again die because of hunger. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in conclusion, we have the issue of climate change. The President is pushing for planting of ten billion trees. We also need to appreciate that delay in rains is caused by deforestation. We need to do reafforestation. As a Senate and with the guidance from your office, I look forward to a tree planting session, so that we can lead as Parliament. Sen Lomenen and other Senators who come from dry areas, including yourself, can attest that climate change is real. In my county, it normally does not rain during this time but currently, it is raining."
