    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to second the Motion. It is common knowledge that maize is a staple food, particularly in Kenya. Any shortage of maize will have very bad effects in the country. In that case, you will find citizens experiencing famine and starvation. Over the years, the Government has failed in its policies on agriculture, especially on food security because it has been part of our life. In Kenya, after every three years, we talk about starvation. Every time we have famine, the Government declares it a national disaster. This is not acceptable 45 years after Independence, considering that we have plenty of arable land in Kenya. If the Government puts good attention on it, it can be put to irrigation. The most interesting thing is that in Kenya, we talk about floods every now and then. All that water runs and finds its way into the ocean. We need a strategy where we construct reservoirs and embrace irrigation. We cannot continue relying on unreliable rainfall."
