    "content": "done as a function? Who is producing food? Is it county governments or the National Government? These are hard questions that we must address moving forward. There is no need of placing money there. We allocate money for agriculture to Nairobi County yet agriculture is devolved. That is an area which needs to be looked at seriously. We need to re-focus on allocating more money to agriculture. We are now experiencing a shortage of food, but we are hopeful of a potential bumper harvest. Climatic conditions like rains and all that remain unpredictable. In my place, we were very happy that we were going to have some good harvest this time round. Unfortunately, we experienced too much rain. It was for a short time, but the crops are failing yet there were indications that we would have a bumper harvest. On the other hand, if we do not get good harvests, we have another issue of fertilizers which are expensive. With climate change, anything can happen. Let us talk about how we can get food reserves on time so that when we have bumper harvests, we can store the extras to help us during difficult times. We do not have to run around importing food. The amount of money that we have spent in importing food in the last two years is enough for us to have proper food reserves in this country. Thank you."
