    "content": "Hon. Speaker, we are here as two Houses to work together as a team. Indeed, Kenya is a signatory to the East African Treaty and we are aware that other countries are supposed to be releasing their budgets within this week. So, I thank His Excellency the President because it is going to help us to adhere to the obligation that Kenya has in terms of releasing the Budget to avoid aspects of speculation. Indeed, it confirms that we are an Upper House for that matter. Hon. Speaker, Sir, agriculture is very critical and we know very well that the backbone of this country is agriculture. Indeed, I am happy that we have allocated some money to agriculture. When you look at the Maputo Declaration the member countries agreed that 10 per cent of their Gross Domestic Product (GDP) should go towards food security. Unfortunately, for now, we have not managed to reach 10 per cent. But in future, while on the right course, we can increase allocation on agriculture.
