    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have understood exactly what he is Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the specific fertiliser we are talking about here is Di-Ammonium Phosphate (DAP). The prices of the other kinds of fertiliser, that is the NPK, Urea and Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN) will be below Kshs2,000. I will be able at an appropriate time to provide the details to this House, if it so requests or directs. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to inform this House that, in fact, our Government committed itself in 2003 to the Maputo Declaration where it was declared by African Heads of States and Governments that to be able to turn around our economies, we need to upscale the financing of the agricultural sector to 10 per cent of the Budget. It has been an elusive exercise for the last five years but I want to brief this House today that, indeed, on the 14th of this month, His Excellency the President and the Government approved that the Budget to the agricultural- sector Ministries be upscaled from 4.5 per cent to 8 per cent beginning next year."
