    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. One, I want to welcome the students to this august House that has leaders elected from all over the country for them to observe the proceedings of this House. I would like to urge them to work hard in school and to aspire to be leaders so as to step in this chamber as leaders, not as students. I wish them all the best in their studies and let them enjoy their time in school, do their best and come out as great leaders just like there are, in this House. Thank you very much. I want to make my contribution by supporting and promoting the local fertiliser manufacturing industry, but before I do that, I want to tell Hon. Caleb Amisi, the Member from one of the constituencies in Trans Nzoia, that he is still held up in the 19th century politics of marxism and mercantilism. That is almost 18th or 19th century stuff. I see a lot of his writings on Twitter and all that, but I see his mind is actually fixated there, and I would like to tell him that it did not help the world. Hon. Temporary Speaker, Russia and Yugoslavia collapsed because of the same principles that Hon. Caleb Amisi is advocating for Kenya to adopt, in order to move forward in development. We are in a new era of thinking and ideologies in this world. Capitalism remains the principal anchor of development in the world. It is still the anchor for making money in the world. It equalises nations. Socialism, marxism, fascism and all those ideologies from 18th and 19th centuries are bypassed. Nations that adhered to them collapsed. Hon. Caleb Amisi, this country will move on a trajectory of developmental issues anchored properly in agriculture. The Agrarian Revolution still persists. We must invest in agriculture."
