    "content": "If today a dog comes and bites your leg, and your vehicle starts rolling downwards because you left it on free gear, at the same time your house catches fire and inside there is a child who is sleeping, it is upon you to know where to start. You have to decide where to start. That is called the precautionary principle of assessing the degree of danger. You will start with the burning house and take the child as the dog bites your leg because you can go to hospital. So, the President has chosen what to start with, and that is food. Hon. Deputy Speaker, if he stabilises the food situation, this country will get somewhere. Secondly, I would like to comment on the issue of infrastructure to productive areas of this country. We need better roads going to the farms where food is produced. We need roads in certain zones, where fresh milk from the farms can quickly be picked and in two hours, it reaches the cooling centres. That is what we need in this country. We also need roads going to farms in the inner most parts of this country which produce perishable food, so that it can get to the market. That is what the President is focusing on. I also want to say something on the national dialogue that is ongoing due to the magnanimity of the President. He chose that we come together and talk. So, we expect fruits from this dialogue. This should not be done in futility. When the report comes to this House, let us work on it and see how to make it better. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I cannot finish without mentioning that the President and the First Lady are a praying family. A praying family makes a praying nation. If we pray together and work hard, Kenya will get somewhere."
