    "content": "I would also like to urge this Ministry to buy more proteins like beans, njugu as well as groundnuts which are available in western which are not really very expensive. They should also buy cabbages and other vegetables so that we just do not concentrate on maize because this is affecting very much the health of those we are trying to help. It is good to fill the bellies but it is also very important that we have a bit of balanced diet. I think we must also encourage Kenyans to grow vegetables even in very small patches like we have seen the Ministry of Agriculture when they carry out demonstrations that even in sacks, we can be able to grow vegetables. Maybe, the Ministry of Agriculture and Ministry of State for Special Programmes can carry out this programme so that when our people get maize or maize meal, then they are able to have grains with it at a lower cost. We should also look into the issue of fortified maize flour with vitamins, at least add some nutrients to this food which is commonly used now by every mwananchi. If we can get millers make it standard that they must fortify the maize, at least, we can rest assured that the people are getting some kind of balanced diet and then we will not have to worry"
