    "content": "in large quantities and in most of our farms and homes, then we shall remain healthy. Mung beans are high antioxidants. They reduce chronic diseases and may prevent stroke. Kenyans are struggling with the health sector. We know the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) and other agencies that are supposed to support the population to get good health by receiving health services are not effective. A sick nation is not a healthy nation. We need people to be supported. This Bill is going to cure all this. This Bill encourages Kenyans to grow mung beans, the farmers are supported by removing cartels and the middle men shall not be there. Apart from being a cash crop, this as food crop will ensure we have a healthy nation. Mung beans are low in cholesterol. This shall remove sicknesses and diseases such as heart failure and other diseases that are affecting Kenyans. Mung beans are also rich in vitamins and minerals such as zinc, magnesium, calcium and potassium. This is required in our bodies. As I had stated earlier, instead of struggling with a sick population, it is important that we eat and live healthy. Allow me to share this because when growing up, I consumed a lot of ndengu . Kitui County still consumes a lot of ndengu today. Ndengu helps in digestion because they are high in fibre. This ensure that you do not have stomach upsets and avoids constipation. It shall make Kenyans comfortable. Ndengu has different names in different regions. Kenyans from the various counties refer to it differently."
