    "content": "In properly planned countries and states, I have seen people living in an estate and leaving the rest of the land for agriculture. When this happens, you find it is easier to provide infrastructure such as schools, stadia, electricity and social amenities for those people. This is because they live together as a community and leave the rest of the land for agriculture. As I wind up, I need to re- emphasise that the Irrigation Board needs to go down to the people and do projects that matter to them. Not just make money for buying cars, servicing mortgages and funding officers in their offices. COVID-19 has shown us something; that out of all sectors in the economy, the one sector that continued to grow across the world has been agriculture. This is because even during times of lockdown and curfew, people are still eating. Therefore, any investment in agriculture and growing food can never go wrong. If we do this, as we think on how to survive past COVID because it will not be with us forever, investment in this sector will be the solution for youth unemployment and growth of the economy because this has been proven during these testing times, to have continued growing."
