    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on food security, more than 45 years after Independence, a country that cannot feed its citizens is actually a country destined for doom. I had an occasion to visit Iran about two months ago. I learnt that, that country receives one-third of the total rainfall that is received in the driest part of this country, which is Kitui. However, you will find green vegetables being served in every meal that is served in Iran. They serve fresh salad and fruits grown through irrigation. We must re- engineer ourselves. We should get our priorities right, change the way we do things and develop our country by embracing new technology. I would like to thank the Minister for Agriculture for focussing on ways to improve food production. However, so little has been done in terms of food management. Today, Kenyans have gone back to their farms. If you overfly parts of Rift Valley Province and Kisii, you will see that all the farms are green. Upon harvest, you will be surprised that nobody will store the food. That food will be sold off and agonize over famine in the subsequent season. Food production, marketing and management is critical."
