    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I do not object to that particular provision as long as it does not affect me because I am already on the Floor. I would like to point out a few issues that were raised on this particular report. One of them is the specific policy that is undertaken to increase or improve agricultural production, especially now that most of our agriculture is rain-fed. However, we can see some efforts in irrigation and to make it more sustainable for production in order to guarantee both food and nutritional security and also to produce raw materials for manufacturing. As a country we cannot talk about industrialisation or manufacturing if we are not discussing manufacturing in the context of agricultural raw material turnover. It is the transformation of the agricultural raw materials that will help us as a country to industrialise because we may not benefit enough from other forms of industries. The greater majority of Kenyans are engaged in agriculture and unless we make our agriculture work, it may not be possible for us to achieve industrialisation. So, it will affect the achievement of the Big Four Agenda because it can only be driven, if we have raw materials in quantities that can be verified and can sustain a process for a long time in various parts of this country."
