    "content": "There has been rain failure all over the country. My constituency has lost many crops and has failed crops. This is a matter that now requires urgent attention. I sincerely believe that with time, we should resolve those issues. We are suffering. We are paying for the sins of false promises and lies that the Jubilee Government has told us since 2013. They proposed that they would develop irrigation-fed agriculture, but up to now, there is nothing. They promised us a bumper harvest at Galana Kulalu, but up to now, there is nothing. The best they can do is make calls to Equity Bank and give Kshs15 billion to investors to go and invest abroad instead of using that money to invest in this country and help solve some of these disasters. Some of these lies will not take us anywhere. Kenya must confront the situation. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this House makes budgets and appropriates funds. It is a call to us all that when it comes to the budget-making process, we should not cede our power to the National Treasury but do budgets that allow us to predict such kind of disasters and prepare for them. It is a shame that countries that have no arable land can feed themselves: you never hear them calling for food supplies and donations. This is an indictment of the leadership of this country since independence. With those few remarks, I support."
