    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have not given agriculture the importance that it deserves. We have not given agriculture the attention that it deserves. What we have only done is to give lip service. We all know that our economy is agro- based. We have been told in many fora that agriculture is the backbone of Kenya’s economy. But talking about agriculture in the absence of a factory, which is a very important input in the sector, we have just given it a lips service. We have not been serious at all. We all know that this country experiences food deficit, year in, year out. I come from a constituency where food production is too low because it is within the ASAL region. In this area, we get a lot of food from outside my constituency. That will mean that we spend a lot of money sourcing food from other areas. We end up enriching other areas of this country. That is not a crime, but it does not promote wealth within my constituency."
