    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Petition. Article 43 on Economic and Social Rights is very clear that every person has a right to a good life. Matters agriculture are very passionate to me. This is an institution that deals with agricultural research that ensures that we have the levels of farming and agricultural feedback to the standards needed. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we discussed a Motion yesterday concerning our neighbouring county of Machakos, regarding the illegalities on the land matters. Case example, Kisii County is asking to have the land to put up an agricultural institution. I support it. It is a plus because it will create more employment to ensure our farmers have quality produce, different markets hence expansion. I do not want to forget, that at times, individuals have their own interests. They hold on to land so that eventually they end up benefiting themselves. We have seen what is happening in Mavoko. Cartels and leaders in this country have decided to fraudulently take money from innocent Kenyans. As we speak, families are suffering because people have pocketed their money. I am happy that the Director of Criminal Investigations has published a list of these criminals. He needs to expand it and state all the leaders who are supposed to represent the people, yet they are ‘eating’ money from innocent Kenyans. This is an important institution. I have a Bill that is about agricultural extension services. This is one area that will be impactful on agricultural research. I support the Petition."
