    "content": "I also want to take this opportunity to dispel the fear among Kenyans and among Government officials that space science is expensive. Space science is not expensive. You can put up a satellite in space today - which is called a micro-satellite - at a cost of less than Kshs1 billion. Most of the roads we construct in this country - even a 20 kilometers stretch of a road - cost more than Kshs1 billion. So, the cost should not be the issue. The technology has moved so fast that the satellite technology is so easy now. You can put in space micro-satellites which will cost us as low as Kshs200 million. The usefulness of this technology and what you get out of it--- Climate change is here with us. It is impacting very seriously on food security. The only way we are going to work and find adaptation mechanisms to combat or adapt to climate change is to get real time information. You cannot get real time information by people walking around and collecting information. We must use the satellite and so, on the issue of food security, satellite based technology is the solution."
