    "content": "The Committee is concerned that the key drivers of the economic growth are facing significant downsize risks that would hinder the country from achieving its growth objectives. Agriculture is still heavily reliant on rainfall. The Committee further noted that existing projects like the Galana Kulalu Irrigation Development Project, and distribution of certified seeds and fertilisers, have so far not enhanced food production mainly due to poor implementation of these projects. It is instructive to note that this particular year, farmers in the North Rift, South Rift and other maize-growing areas of the country are yet to benefit from subsidised fertilisers. Even the coffee farmers for whom we set aside Kshs1 billion for fertiliser subsidy in last year’s Budget are yet to benefit from that input. This leads to the question as to whether there will be enhanced food production in the current season, knowing that a number of these farmers will be planting in March."
