"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is also need for the Government to invest in the use of empirical research methods. This is because as much as we do not accept some of the methods used in the developed countries, at our own level, we must be prepared to modernize our agricultural input. There is also need for the Government to set up a permanent and ample national food fund. We have the National Cereals and Produce Board which is not clear. That is why recently when we had the maize crisis, it was not clear who was in charge. Was it the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of State for Special Programmes or Ministry of Agriculture? It is the high time that we had a constitutionally recognized entity in charge of the issue of food, so that next time we do not find Kenyans in the streets rioting about the unavailability of bread, water and food in their houses, because this is a key component and issue that the Government must not take lightly."
