    "content": "back again. Our people then go without food and some of them even die from starvation. Therefore, we should take precautions and find ways of providing food for our people. It is said that agriculture is the backbone of this country because we depend on it for food and even for making a little bit of money. So, we should take a lot more interest in alleviating and lifting the face of agriculture so that every place has food. It is said that Uganda can never run short of food because it has resorted to having traditional foods all over the country. Every place has their own traditional foods. Kenya has left it up to the farmers to fend for themselves, thereby creating food shortage in the country. The Government is not keen on availing technology and production of food so that there is food in the country. Madam Temporary Speaker, we can learn from Israel, a very small country compared to Kenya. Israel produces a lot of food for themselves and even sells to other countries, despite their poor soils. I visited Israel a while ago and saw that they bring soils from wherever it is possible. They just lay it on top of rocks and that is where they plant and produce food. Apart from Galilee and maybe upper Tel-Aviv towards Golan Heights, the rest of the country is really dry. When you come southwards towards Beersheba, it is very dry and yet that country produces a lot of food, keep very good dairy cows and so on."
