Dekow Mohamed","speaker":null,"content":" Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I support this increment for the State Department for Crop Development. I wish and hope that my constituency or county will be the next food basket for this country. I can see the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock looking like I am not realistic. Garissa is the next area that we must start investing in as a country. While I appreciate the fact that we are putting more money into fertiliser subsidies, we should also put more money into agricultural mechanisation specifically for this region where I come from. We are the next food basket for this country."}
