    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to add my voice to this amendment. I confirm that I am a Member of this Committee on Labour and Social Welfare where this amendment was brought. We looked at it, deliberated and did a lot of public participation. The good amendment should be supported by this House. It is aimed at mitigating the sufferings of the many ASALs and other areas that have been bedevilled by constant drought. The fund should be well managed as it will help Kenya be at par with other countries that have food-sufficiency requirement. My regret as a person is that unless the implementing agencies are going to be serious, it may be a laughing stock because fabulous papers have been written, ideas and concepts availed but the implementation in this country has been wanting. There is no reason why many countries in Africa that were deemed to be deserts like Egypt should be self-sufficient in food capacity and even export a lot of fruits even to Kenya. We are importing a lot of fruits, cereals and grains from Egypt and other countries when we are almost at a self-sufficiency level. We have found out that a lot of this has got to do with mismanagement and bureaucracies in Government. 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."
