I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries regarding the state of rice farming in Kisumu County and the interventions by the Japan International Corporation Agency (JICA) and the Government of Kenya (GoK) to support the sector. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Provide a status update on the progress of the Ahero Irrigation Scheme Rehabilitation Project, detailing the scope of works, project timelines and the utilization of the Kshs3 billion funding from JICA. (2) Outline the objectives and achievements and challenges of the rice-based and market-oriented agriculture promotion projects in Kisumu County, explaining the measures in place to address key issues affecting rice farmers such as post-harvest losses, limited market access and vulnerability to climate-related disasters like floods, while also highlighting any interventions aimed at improving productivity and resilience. (3) State the current rice production levels in Kisumu County, including the average yield per acre and the number of farmers benefiting from JICA and GoK interventions and provide details on any planned initiatives by JICA and GoK to further improve rice farming, enhance food security and ensure long-term sustainability in the sector. (4) Indicate the initiatives undertaken by the Government of Kenya or the County Government of Kisumu to expand and modernize the Ahero and Rai Irrigation Schemes to increase rice production, providing details on planned infrastructure improvements, technological advancements and timelines for implementation to ensure enhanced efficiency and productivity in rice farming.
