I believe what the President has proposed as a way forward, especially in the maize sector, the sugar sector and the coffee sector will transform that which we need in the areas that provide food. The North Rift, where I come from, is considered the food basket for this country. If we can put more attention in that area, I believe we will change what we have been experiencing every other year. The long-term solutions to our problems have a lot to do with education. I appreciate the President for mentioning that it is critical that we put emphasis on education by allocating more resources to infrastructure and education of our children. That is the only way we can change and inculcate the right values in our children. By doing so, it will provide the solutions that we require for our country now and in the future. Therefore, I urge the President that on the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
