"content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion by Sen. Gataya Mo Fire. Food security has affected this country, quite a lot. I rise to support by introducing a few issues, that if we look at carefully as the Senate, then we will secure this country. If we are not able to feed ourselves, then we cannot have a country. If these issues are taken care of and observed carefully, then we will be able to have a country that can feed its people and the citizens will be happy. We will be comfortable being in this country. Most importantly, we now have new county governments. There are new governors and administrations coming in. Most of the things happening in Kenya and counties in particular, is planning and preparation of County Integrated Development Plans (CIDP). That will make them understand what they are required to do in the next five years. It will give them an opportunity to plan themselves, prepare budgets and introduce their wants. Governments should introduce Motions such as this one, that will ensure food security. It is very important. It is the right time for the Motion to be introduced, and for us, as a country and as county governments, to introduce a way of feeding our own people. We know that the drought has really affected so many counties this time around particularly the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs)."
