"content": "Kenya is not the first country in the world to be invaded by locusts. Definitely, there are other countries that were first invaded by them. The Government has spent colossal amount of money on benchmarking trips that are irrelevant. Even at times, we go on benchmarking to learn how to cook. However, we cannot find it very necessary that the Government takes a trip to countries where the locusts are said to have migrated from, so that we can know how they dealt with them. It is disheartening when a Cabinet Secretary says that the locusts are now yellow and are only waiting to lay eggs and die. It is only God who knows whether the eggs that the locusts lay will hatch or not. One locust has the capacity to lay over 80 eggs. If these eggs hatch, we are looking at a scenario where the locusts will invade every part of this country. The interests of Kenyans are ventilated through this House. It is the interest of this country that the locusts are combated once and for all."
