    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker for this opportunity to contribute to this Petition on food security. Kenya has not been able to feed herself for unknown reasons since independence. This is despite the fact that agriculture is the backbone of this country as it contributes 33 per cent of our Global Data Barometer (GDB). If you look at the amount of food that we produce, as somebody mentioned, in the Galana Kulalu farm that we had thought might be of help and Rift Valley which we consider as the bread basket of this country, still, we are not able to produce enough food to feed the citizens of this country. Something, therefore, needs to happen even if it means relooking the seeds that we are using in this country. We need to get advanced seeds that will enable production of more crops. We cannot exist since independence yet we are not able to feed our people. We have experienced the worst drought in many years of our existence.
