    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me a chance to add my voice to the Regulations on terrorism. This is because terrorism and corruption are the two greatest challenges in this country, and we need to tackle them. Bringing on board the international convention is a good thing, but it is not enough to domesticate international treaties and laws. We must go a step further and ensure that they are implemented. I am saying that because of the Maputo Declaration, which Kenya is a signatory to. We adopted that in every year’s budget, 10 per cent must be dedicated to agriculture. I have been in this House looking at the budgets allocated to agriculture and they are hardly 2 per cent. That Convention recognises that if you invest a shilling in agriculture, you are changing the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) nine times. If the budget allocated to agriculture goes to 10 per cent, then the GDP of this country would rise probably by a huge margin."
