    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for reminding others that the Minority also needs to be recognized as a constitutional right. As I verily support this Motion as brought to us by Sen. Muthama, it is good to remember a few facts. First, I agree with the Majority Leader that insecurity can lead to reduction of production in agriculture. That is a fact and that is why we complain seriously when the Jubilee Government fails in that. I want to remember that support to agricultural production has been skewed by hitherto governments to areas that were considered to be “right”. We have had complete neglect of cotton production, sugar cane production, wattle production and pyrethrum production which were our mainstay in the generation of a lot of revenue just because some heavyweights in the former governments did find enterprising ventures into synthetics and importation of sugar using funny agreements with COMESA and hence, dampening the spirit of the farmers of these crops."
