    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support your statement in reflecting on what we have done previously, the challenges ahead of us and above all your robust defence on devolution and this House. I will just touch on one or two things. First, as we look to the new session, I encourage our colleagues who chair two critical committees of Health and Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries... The country is facing very serious challenges in these sectors. Today as I speak, farmers in the western part of Kenya, the Rift Valley- both south and north - are getting ready to give the country the desired food security. However, the usual subsidy on fertilizer is no more. There is a push and pull between the Ministries of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries and National Treasury and Planning. I encourage our colleague, Sen. Ndwiga, who is the Chairperson of the Committee on Agriculture - a man with wide experience who served very well as the Minister for Co- operatives in this country - to move quickly and engage the two Ministries and see that farmers get subsidy in fertilizer to give the country the desired food security."
