    "content": "from an area which produces food for this country. I expected the allocation to be slightly higher than what they have done. It is only 3 per cent of the national revenues, which is not very good. Hon. Temporary Speaker, another area we should focus on, as the main national institution with oversight authority in this country, is Appropriation-in-Aid (A-in-A). Sometimes, people misuse whatever revenues they collect. For example, there is misuse of own revenues in the counties and within other public entities. Who is being asked to account for some of those misappropriations? Again, that is not very clear. We should use such resources properly. The responsibility of this House is to oversee activities and resources that are generated to ensure that they are not misplaced or misused. Therefore, people should be held accountable. Those who are unable to account for public resources should be sent to jail. Such a bold move would be a very good way of looking after our scarce resources. Last but not least, I have been told that the Liaison Committee is in charge. I ask them to allocate more resources in agriculture. I stress this point because it is important for this country. We do mining. We generate resources and use them properly. Let us allocate more money in that particular sector. With those remarks, I support the Motion."
