    "content": "Agriculture is not just for subsistence. Farmers go into agriculture to make a living and a profit. Right now, when it comes to farming, farmers cannot break even. They cannot even make profits and that is why you are seeing most farmers are moving away from production of foodstuff like maize and beans, which contribute heavily to food security in this country. We have seen the commitment of His Excellency the President. We have done many policies. Research has shown that 70 per cent of good policies fail because of poor implementation. I want to say this without fear or favour: In this country, we are very good in developing policies but, unfortunately, we are very poor when it comes to implementation. That is because when it comes to resource allocation, maybe, we do not get it right or we do not have commitment towards the policies that we have put in place. The aspect of monitoring and evaluation is missing. This House passes so many laws but when it comes to implementation, it is not followed to the expected results. So, we cannot have those outputs."
