    "content": "and going into those fragile areas and exhausting everything. I think it is a good point that we start looking at the arable land as the savior of this country. The potential of this country lies in those arable lands. One of the issues that I will point out which the President should have emphasized on is on the area of allocation of resources which I still feel is not provided for in the right way. Let me give the example of the El Nino floods. In 1997 and earlier this year, we had floods in this country. The area that I represent; that is the larger Turkana, was heavily affected by the floods of the 1990s. the roads, bridges and canals were all destroyed. Up to today, none of them has ever been repaired. Early this year, we had terrible floods in Turkana which was the most affected place in the whole country. It is unfortunate that it is only less than Kshs30 million that has been allocated out of a budget of almost Kshs4.5 billion which is meant to cater for the rehabilitation of irrigation, the water and the road system. This is a very unfortunate situation."
