    "content": "Countries such as Egypt and Sudan do not have sufficient rains, but they feed their own populations and other countries. These countries have food security for their citizens and depend on the River Nile which partly comes from Kenya. In Kenya, we have many rivers and plenty of rain. We also have many fresh water lakes such Lake Victoria and Lake Naivasha. However, the whole country is faced with famine because of poor planning. We must tell our planners to run away from the conventional planning. They must learn from people living in desert countries such as Israel and, Egypt, among other countries. We cannot continue any longer to rely on rain-fed agriculture to feed our people. So, the Ministry of Planning, National Development and Vision 2030 should be more concerned with these issues than forming a taskforce which will spend over Kshs200 million to go round the country to propose amendments on the CDF Act. If this money was meant to look for ways of feeding Kenyans, it would do a better job than what it will do now."
