    "content": "I was breaking agriculture down. I said it includes maize, rice and potatoes. In terms of stability in this country, the percentage of consumption of ugali is higher than other foods. We are talking about the share of the pocket. When you talk about the share of the pocket, you break down household foods. We have ugali, rice and githeri . When you break down the percentage share of the pocket, you find that ugali constitutes a higher percentage. That is why I was trying to contextualise what the other Hon. Member mentioned. You cannot compare ugali and potatoes because in terms of stability, the share of the pocket of the consumption of ugali has a higher percentage. It goes without saying that to have food security in this country, we must focus on where the share of the pocket is higher. That is why I was qualifying maize. The Government must put more investments in production of maize. That is why we are talking about things like subsidised fertiliser which is becoming very critical as we move on."
