    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you did not hear that means Sen. Abass has a problem with his ears. On the statement by Sen. (Dr.) Murango, consumption of rice has increased in this country. The consumption is a million tonnes per year. What Kenya can produce is only 230 tonnes. What Sen. (Dr.) Murango is talking about is the stock that is now in the stores. The Government has promised to buy everything that is in stores in Kirinyaga County. This country has a deficit of 770,000 metric tonnes. I want to ask Sen. (Dr.) Murang’o to appreciate also what the Kenya Kwanza Government has done. It has increased the production of rice from 190 metric tonnes to 270 metric tonnes. This production increased mainly because of issues of cheap fertilizer and also dams that are being built in this country. By 2032, according to the Kenya Kwanza Government, we will be having sufficient rice for Kenyans. For people from Wajir, Mandera and Marsabit, this is normally our staple food. This is due to efforts by His Excellency the President. Mwache Dam is being built in Kilifi and Thuci Dam in Embu."
