    "content": "I want to be very categorical that that the National Government has no business at all operating businesses in the agricultural sector. Under Schedule Four of the Constitution, where the functions of the National Government and those of the county governments are listed, it is clear that the only roles that the National Government has in the agricultural sector is policy formulation. Anything like growing crops is left to the county governments. Therefore, it will be very difficult for anybody to justify opposition to this Motion. Those opposing the Motion should probably propose some amendments so that we can do away with the agro-based parastatals, instead of suggesting that the status quo remains. The National Government should be able to remove itself from this kind of business within a period of about five years. The sooner this is done, the better."
