    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, there is a reason why the drafters of our Constitution in the Fourth Schedule listed agriculture in Part Two as the first devolved function for county governments. The reason is because of what I have heard a few of my colleagues make reference to – that we are attempting to move to industrialization. However, before we get there, Kenya is an agricultural country and we must accrue maximum benefit from it. Since farming take place in all the 47 counties, the drafters of the Constitution wanted a situation where our country would move away from making reference to a ‘food basket’ to making reference to ‘food baskets’. We produce different varieties of food from different corners of the country and then equip the 47 county governments properly to produce enough for themselves and surplus to sell to other regions."
