    "content": "The Ministry must get concerned with feeding Kenyans. You cannot talk about agriculture without talking about land. Land is the foundation of everything. Without land, you cannot cultivate. It also depends on what papers one has. If you have leasehold papers, the concern and interest of farmers is not attached to this. I urge the Government to speed up demarcation so that farmers can be assisted by the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Agriculture and above all, the Ministry of Lands. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, even after 46 years of Independence, the Government Lands Act is not supportive to farmers. This Act was intended to harmonise all land tenure in this country but it has not been implemented correctly. The Ministry is slow in correcting things in that Ministry. My concern is for the Ministry to treat farmers who feed this country, with a lot of respect. They should also have a system to deal with land issues uniformly. The Ministry should put a lot of emphasis on agricultural land, whether settlement schemes or trust lands. In this way, they may correct things in this country by assisting farmers. With those few remarks, I beg to move and ask Dr. Eseli to second."
