    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to congratulate Prof. Oniang'o, one of the best brains we have in this country in food security, for bringing this Motion to the House. I would like to tell the Minister that adequate food supply is a human rights issue and this Government has signed the Human Rights Charter. Therefore, the Minister should take this matter very seriously. A country that has hunger and famine is a country that lacks programmes for its people. Hunger can be seen physically and it is also hidden. Here in Kenya, we have both August 2, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2537 because we have seen people die from famine. Our national statistics indicate that children under five years of age are failing to grow to their potential because of hunger. They are underweight because of hidden hunger. The Minister should take this issue seriously and deal with this problem once and for all by putting this Motion into action. Mr. Minister, we would like to see silos being built in North Eastern and Eastern provinces so that food can be transported from Western Province and stored there."
