    "content": "We need them to use innovations and technology to help us in our agricultural sector. Agriculture contributes 25 per cent of the GDP yet it is the least funded of all the factors of production. Therefore, while we are accepting that we have a problem and that we need to do ‘X.’ However, we have to see what will be sustainable going into the future. We must change the economic policies concerning land and encourage entrepreneurship. We must give people access to cheap capital. Those are the things we must do. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we cannot run away or dodge the fact that we have got an elephant in the room. We have to pay for it. Whether the decision which was taken is right or wrong, it has found itself on our table. I am urging and pleading with my colleagues, let us do the right thing. I know when they said you look at the list, not everybody is there. However, the people who are there are Kenyans too. Let them benefit too. Next year I know in the next policy they are saying that we will have our cake and eat it. Mine is just to ask and plead with my colleagues, let us be prudent and let us do the right thing and support these regulations."
