"content": "have a National Irrigation Authority mandated to do irrigation and increase production. However, we see the Treasury starves it of money. Some of the money given to the county governments, if put together in regional blocs, we would be able to come up with viable solutions that can be implemented and can be of long-term solution. I think we have to relook at the devolved functions and the way they can achieve economies of scale. It will not be viable for a county to do a big dam because it is too expensive. Three or four counties putting their resources together can make it achievable. As I commend the Sen. Lomenen for this wonderful and timely Motion, we must relook at where we stand and stop double standards. Arguing that the country is faced with hunger whereas we are sending all our Senators to Juba to go have a good time without any economic value to this country, begs the question whether we really know the direction that we want to take. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support."
