    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what I meant is simple; that the critical and most important thing is the quality of legislation that we churn out and the attention it deserves. If food deserves more attention than the quality of legislation, then where are we as the Parliament? That is why I said the National Assembly should prioritise such Bills over the issues of food because there are better forums that we can discuss food. I am told there is a food television channel that you can watch using your DSTV decoders. I encourage them to watch such channels. I agree with my lecturer and the Senate Majority Leader. It is hard to doubt his wisdom because he taught me a lot. He is a good mentor, and I agree that we should ensure that we strike a balance. Finally, I urge Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) because there is a part that they will play but that cannot happen with the chaos, disorder and anarchies that we are witnessing in our county assemblies. Sen. Sakaja is here, and I hope he heard what his MCAs said about the office of the Senator and the governor. He should stabilize the City County Assembly of Nairobi such that they pass critical legislations like this. They do not have to be discussing about impeachment and other issues that are not relevant in terms of discharge of their mandate. I thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
