Nooru","speaker_title":"The Member for Mandera North","speaker":{"id":2238,"legal_name":"Adan Mohamed Nooru","slug":"adan-mohamed-nooru"},"content":"Hon. Deputy Speaker, this country’s policy, especially the policy contained in Sessional Paper No.10 of 1965, to date has been concentrating on the white highlands or the so-called “high potential areas” or “the food basket of this country”. In Kisii, the population is more than the land. The land has been “squeezed”. People cannot even get a one-acre plot to live on. In this country, every policy focuses on agriculture. I want us to call the Ministry responsible for agriculture and livestock, the “Ministry of Livestock and Agriculture” this time round. Agriculture should not always come first."}
