    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Motion. Kenya is an agricultural country where investment in agriculture pays well. We are aware that Kenya is committed to farming not because our people are trained well in that industry, but because it is one of the low hanging fruits that we have as a country. Therefore, it is only fair that we make deliberate decisions on how we are going to enhance agricultural farming, modernise it and make it more productive so that our people who are involved in the farming industry would get benefits therein. We are in a situation such as this where Kenyans are hurting because we have allowed ourselves to get food and other things from outside Kenya which sometimes are not of good quality. When we empower our farmers locally to produce cashew nuts among other cash crops, we are not only going to empower our people, but we are also going to improve on our foreign exchange. This would generate some money for the country, grow our taxes, improve the standards of living for our people and our children will get quality education."
