When I was a schoolboy, we were told that Kenya is an agricultural country, but I do not know whether we practise agriculture. Our food is always insufficient yet agriculture can help us to be food-sufficient and even have surplus. But because we are not giving proper attention to agriculture, we have a problem of hunger a number of times. This results in importation of maize and you know what happens when that is done: the monster of corruption rears its ugly head. This must be stopped."}
