    "content": "The President also commented on the issue of food security. Of the Big Four Agenda, what is very close to my heart is food security and universal health coverage. Why food security? We all know that the economy of this country is actually agricultural-based. It is through agriculture that over 60 per cent of our population earns its living. We just need to fix agriculture and 60 per cent of our problems will be gone. A case in point is my constituency and my county where we grow tea, coffee, rice and horticultural products. If we just fix prices and markets for tea, coffee, rice, maize and sugar most of our problems will be solved as a country and this will help us realise Vision 2030. You do not require a rocket scientist to fix agriculture in Kenya. We know that the main undoing of our agriculture in Kenya is, first of all, insufficient budgetary allocation. The country needs to move ahead and we start investing more in our agriculture."
