    "content": "on foreign exchange, causing our shilling to weaken against all major currencies. Today, we witness a strengthening of our shilling not because there are any miracles performed but because we subsidised food production to ease importation. The demand curve is now in favour of the shilling because we are not importing as much. The demand for foreign currency has gone down. If any government gets it right on education, food security and health, then that is a progressive government. Last year, we were uncertain as to what we would do with the Grade 9 students. Today that issue has been addressed. Parents and ourselves are now resting easy. As leaders, we are also parents. We are sure of the transition to Grade 9 and what is going to happen in the future. We have classrooms and some are still under construction. In my constituency, I can attest to that fact. Milk production has increased to about 220,000 litres per annum. The level is still low compared to production in other countries. I compare our country with a country like Qatar, which is a desert. In a single farm with 25,000 livestock, Qatar is able to produce 400,000 litres of milk in a day. As a country, we have a long way to go even as we sustain production and give this guaranteed minimum return on milk."
