    "content": "allocate at least 10 per cent to agriculture and food production. Previously, we were at around 3 per cent, but now we are at 6 per cent. We are not yet there but we have improved. I appreciate what we have done. The purpose of these alliances is to share the experiences amongst ourselves and to harmonise legal frameworks towards food production. We are talking about what is happening in our constituencies and counties to the young generation, specifically the school-going children and even the ones at home who have not gone to school. We are talking of how to go about the status of kwashiorkor and the plight of the elderly. What do we have to say about them? Right now we are giving money to the elderly people but you know there is so much to be done about the health of elderly people. Diseases are there and we need to prevent them. How do we do that? Food is an enabler that can assist in prevention of diseases. How do we get this food? We need to strategise in production of food and see that whatever food our children eat in schools, improves their immunity. We want to see a specific allocation through the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) to specifically assist to balance nutrition of school-going children. Hon. Temporary Speaker, this has come at the right time. We need to support this course, move together, and improve legal structures and policies meant for food production."
