    "content": " I thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, and thank you also for the guidance you gave me this morning. I highly appreciate and rise to support this particular Motion that has been brought by the Chairperson, Budget and Appropriations Committee. County Governments are an important component of our government structure as a country and it is important that they are well resourced so that they are able to discharge their duties. Any additional money that is given to the county governments will allow the nation to achieve food security because agriculture is a devolved function. But I want to implore the county governments that there are very many agricultural extension officers who have been well trained by our universities and colleges to do extension work. If this is done in a guided form by technocrats and people who are well versed in that area, I think we will have better production in our farms and achieve food security. So, I implore the county governments — if there are any monies they have taken for agricultural improvement of the food security situation — to kindly employ agricultural extension and education officers."
