    "content": "you are a pig farmer like me. That data ought to help the Government in planning. Therefore, there is no reason to ask Nyumba Kumi heads and chiefs to go back and identify vulnerable and needy families in the villages. You should have gone back to your data if you were really serious. I must note that there are Cabinet Secretaries in this country who have made it a habit of just doing public relations work with the President and the people of Kenya. Even recently, there was one with Google balloons proposal. I do not know what value that has at this particular time. Unfortunately, it is the same Cabinet Secretaries who were in charge of data collection with the Huduma Namba and the Population and National Housing Census, telling us that the census data is now digitalised. With that digital data, we would have expected that the information would be readily available to the Government to use at such a time. On the question of food import, as the Member for Mogotio and the Member for Tigania have said, a time like this the Government ought to encourage farmers by buying food from them and ensuring that we safeguard against inflation. One of the key drivers of inflation from now to the end of the year will be the cost of food. We must safeguard against high inflation by ensuring that we produce food locally and at a cheaper price. With that, Hon. Speaker, I beg to reply and thank all the Members who have taken time, including those who are following the proceedings on Zoom and other channels especially those who are locked out because of age. We appreciate their support. I beg to reply."
