    "content": "Mr. Mungatana has said something and I want him to know that I share his views that it is a shame that 40 years after Independence we should still be importing food and talking about wanting to be food secure or self sufficient in terms of food production; and that we should still be depending on rainfed agriculture when, in fact, the knowledge has been there all the time. We knew that rainfed agriculture is not sustainable. Egypt has no rains: It never rains in Egypt. Most of Egypt is a desert and yet Egypt depends on just one river, the Nile, whose sources are here; Cherangany, Mt. Elgon and the Mau Forest. They use that water and produce sufficient food. They even export wheat back to us here in Kenya. So, it is a big shame! Mbingu wa Mutharika, in just one term that he was the President of Malawi, was able to turn Malawi from food deficiency to food self sufficiency; that Malawi is able to export its maize to Kenya. There is really no secret about what he has done. Our Minister for Agriculture is very able and can do it."
