    "content": "The realisation of food and nutrition security also relies heavily on sustainable utilisation of the blue economy resources. To promote this, I propose to the National Assembly to effect budget allocation of Ksh2.6 billion for the Aquaculture Business Development Project, Ksh3.5 billion for Kenya Marine Fisheries and Socio-Economic Development Projects, Ksh1.2 billion for marine fish stock assessment, Ksh580 million for capacity building in deep sea fishing, Ksh142 million for rehabilitation of fish landing sites in Lake Victoria, Ksh141.5 million for aquaculture technology development and innovations transfer, Ksh500.7 million for Liwatoni Ultra-Modern Fish Hub, and Ksh88 million for development of the blue economy initiatives. In order to increase agricultural productivity and enhance resilience to climate change risks in targeted small holder farming and pastoral communities in Kenya, I propose to the National Assembly to effect budget allocations of Ksh1.5 billion for the Climate Smart Agricultural Productivity Project, Ksh625 million to enhance Drought Resilience and Sustainable Livelihood Programme, and Ksh318 million towards Ending Drought Emergencies in Kenya Project. In addition, I propose to the National Assembly to effect budget allocations of Ksh300 million for the Crop Insurance Scheme to reduce the vulnerabilities of Kenyan farmers to disease and natural disasters."
