    "content": "people. Some parts of the country get short rains and with fertilisers, they can plant crops that thrive under the short rains and get a good yield, which will improve their living standards. The only form of employment in most parts of the country is farming. A large percentage of Kenyans are farmers. Most retirees go back to their villages to engage in farming. We need to encourage this because when people go back to their villages and engage in farming, we decongest the city. That will also help with rural-to-urban migration. We need to start decongesting the city. People should migrate from the city to the villages. People come to the city to look for jobs, but there are none. However, if they go back to their villages, they can engage in farming and earn something. That can encourage people to go back to their villages. This is one way of preventing rural-to-urban migration. We have good institutions in our country, including our universities, which can do good research to improve the quality of machines and chemicals we need to make good fertiliser, which will improve farming in the country. I support the Motion and urge all the Members of this House to support it because it is very important to our country and it will also help our youth."
