    "content": "Thank you hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Adjournment Motion. First and foremost, I want to thank you for the leadership you have given this National Assembly, both inside and outside the House; recently there were outreach services rendered by the Parliamentary Service Commission during the Parliament week. Hon. Speaker, we really appreciate your role in guiding this House in various debates on Bills and on other areas, where we have faced difficulties. You have always given us your wise counsel. As we go for recess, one of the biggest challenges is lack of food security in this country, more so in areas that are prone to hardship, especially the arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs). I want to thank God that this year, my county of Trans-Nzoia had a bumper harvest. Food production has been good and this is an area where both the county government and national Government have done well, especially through provision of good fertilizers. The Government provided adequate fertilizers in good time through both the county and the national Government. We have had our challenges, especially in my county. I presented a petition about a county referral hospital that has been irregularly acquired, and where we think the people of Trans-Nzoia feel that the county government has failed. In the process, it made the county to suffer very huge economic or financial losses. I hope the relevant Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade will address and remedy the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
