    "content": "Members of Parliament would even run with it in the House during those days. Those days you could tell a DP, FORD or KANU person. But today, we cannot even distinguish whether the Members of this House belong to PNU, ODM or ODM Kenya. They are actually mature. I really want to thank these hon. Members. I pray that three quarters of these hon. Members come back to this House. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to ask the Ministry of Agriculture to take the issue of food security in this country more seriously. As we go on recess, there are many Kenyans who are suffering because they do not have enough food. This Ministry together with the Ministry of State for Special Programmes should identify areas where maize did not do well and take relief food there. Currently, there is food shortage in Trans Mara, Kericho and parts of North Eastern Province because of crop failure. Some of these areas used to harvest surplus food, but today, they are begging for relief food. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as we go on recess, let me thank His Excellency the President, Mwai Kibaki, for overseeing infrastructure improvement throughout the country during his tenure. We may not have good roads in Marakwet, but he has done wonders in the improvement of our roads. Marakwet is part of Kenya and we need good roads. I believe that, probably, the next Government will consider Marakwet District which has been left out when it comes to roads. All districts have a few kilometres of tarmac roads. It is a pity that our roads are in a sorry state. We are suffering a lot. I use a four wheel drive vehicle, but I cannot reach home. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we might not have another Motion for Adjournment next time when we come back. I am praying God to take care of us during the recess so that we meet next time. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
