    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Motion. I have been trying the whole afternoon, but we were caught up in an insecurity situation. I rise to support the Motion. We all agree that we are committed to devolution, and that the counties must be supported, so that they can have the wherewithal to facilitate development in our rural areas. Therefore, the agro-based parastatals will constitute a very important aspect of development in the areas they are based. Personally, I believe that the agro-based industry will be the means of Kenya taking-off. Kenya being an agricultural country, with the main economic activity being agriculture, the real leader of our development will be agro-industry. To that extent, these parastatals will go a long way in facilitating value addition in the agro-industry, leading to employment of our youth. I believe very strongly that our youth are under-employed basically because we have not changed the use of land in many parts of our country."
