    "content": "Mr. Tempraory Deputy Speaker, Sir, having said that, I wish to say that when we are looking at the Budget and the planning in this country, we need to pay attention to what we want Kenya to be. I want to say that from the very beginning, there was a Sessional Paper which I think this Ministry and Government should acquaint itself with – that is Sessional Paper No.10 of 1965 which was authored by the late Tom Mboya and our present President. One of the issues in this country is that in the Budget, we should see more financing and spending on our agricultural sector. I want to say that Kenya is turning into an import country. In future, I would like the Budget to look at Kenya as an export oriented country. That has to start with simple things that Kenyans understand - like the growing of food crops. I think we spend colossal sums of money on that item and that should not be the case."
