    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member of Parliament who tried to say that 75 per cent of Kenyans cannot afford two meals a day is wrong. According to the statistics we have, our poverty level at the moment is at 46 per cent and I have clearly testified here in general terms, because my Ministry does general planning and it is up to the various Ministries to have specific interventions. So, we give general directions and I have come up with quite a number of issues that are going to make sure that prices of essential goods are reduced. The first one is to increase productivity which we are doing. We are saying that fertiliser will be available to farmers at reduced rates. Secondly, we are importing more food like maize to make sure that in two months time, the prices will go down because it will mitigate the food shortage we have. Thirdly, we have decided to increase the food reserves from the three billion bags to six billion bags so that in future we do not have a shortage."
