    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, aware that Kenya is an agricultural-based economy with a significant portion of its population relying on farming for their livelihood; noting that, the quality and quantity of crop yields in Kenya has been hampered to a large extent by lack of adequate and quality fertilizers leading to decreased agricultural productivity and economic losses; further noting that, the Government has committed to improving agricultural productivity through various initiatives including the provision of subsidized fertilizers; concerned that the cost, quantity and quality of fertilizers and subsequently the cost of production of food crops and cash crops including coffee, tea and miraa has decreased due to a number of factors, among them high cost of fertilizers due to mark-up by private suppliers of fertilizers; further concerned that threat to food security is a threat to national security; recognizing that the Government-to-Government model has been noted to lower cost of products; further recognizing that there are countries that are willing to enter into a G-to-G agreement; appreciating that G-to-G has been proven to be effective in provision of services that have a direct impact on citizens’ livelihood, including the cost of living such as the supply of fertilizers, particularly in countries with similar agricultural conditions as Kenya; this House, therefore, resolves that the Government, through the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development and its agencies, adopts: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor"
