"content": "The major problem in this country today is food security. This is as a result of using seeds and animal genetic products that have not been properly researched, tested and certified. In the rural areas, after harvesting, farmers select the best seeds and store them somewhere for planting in the next season. The establishment of a fully-fledged State Department for Agricultural Research is, indeed, the way forward. The professor’s CV has been read out here and it is very impressive indeed. We have a lot of hope in him. I want to request him to immediately put systems in place to make sure that in future we use seeds and other agricultural inputs which are properly researched, certified and of world-class standards. Kenya is known because it is a leader in almost everything, including agricultural production. Here, we have cattle which can produce about 80 liters of milk per day. But, still, with effective research and having somebody like Prof. Hamadi Iddi, we hope to move forward. Therefore, I have all the confidence in him and request this House to unanimously support and give him this job so that he can help us to move forward. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
