    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to add my voice on this. In our country, agriculture is one of the greatest employers hence we should handle it with a lot of seriousness. Most people are self-employed in the agricultural sector and when we allow agriculture to go the direction that we are watching it go right now, we will put our country in a quagmire. Other than what my colleagues have said regarding what is affecting coffee, sugarcane industry and the rest, I have realized that the research sector was greatly affected when amalgamation took place. One of the areas that is least financed in our agricultural sector is the research sector. As a result of lack of attention on research in our country, agriculture has been left to suffer and it has to use the old outdated technologies of production. A lot of funds should be put into the research sector for our agriculture to operate within the current technology and ensure more production. The other problem that is fighting agriculture is corruption. The moment we fight corruption in agricultural sector, it will come back to normal."
