    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me join my colleagues in supporting the BPS for the Financial Year 2023/2024. The BPS lays the framework of the Government of the day on critical matters including revenue projections, sharing of revenues between the national Government and the county governments, and how the national Government intends to grow the economy. Let me thank the Departmental Committees which made their input to this Report. I also want to thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee for highlighting the strategies contained in this BPS. One of the strategies is on agriculture transformation. In this regard, the BPS intends to ensure that production of food is scaled up to secure the country from food insecurity. The Budget Policy Statement says that the Government wants to ensure that farm inputs and market for agricultural products are available to farmers. It wants to promote value addition to specific items. The Report talks about rice farming, production of edible oils, tea and coffee, and to add value to those commodities so that farmers can get value for money."
