    "content": "This country relies on agriculture. If these locusts find their way into the agricultural parts of this country, then that will be a disaster. I know you have power, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Maybe this country will be saved from the locusts by your direction. At the end of this Motion, I want you to order the Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries to appear before this House to tell Kenyans what plans he has put in place to ensure that the locusts are killed and we save this country from the locusts. From the time the locusts were reported to have arrived in this country, we have not been told any success stories. Does this mean that the interventions that are being implemented are not workable and we must change tact? We expect a more reasonable statement from the Cabinet Secretary only when he appears before this House. He is a politician. Maybe he was carried away by the people he was addressing to tell them that Kenyans should not worry because the locusts are yellow and they are waiting to lay eggs and die. What about if the eggs hatch. Research has not been done on the environment where the locusts are going to lay eggs to come up with a conclusion that the eggs are going to hatch."
