    "content": "issue of small irrigation projects. Whereas we depend on the National Irrigation Board and the county governments to have bigger irrigation projects, if the NG-CDF was allowed to do this, then some of the irrigation schemes in Mukurweini would be comfortably handled. I am reminded of Thiha Micro Irrigation Scheme which was started by the NG-CDF kitty and was later taken up by other donor funding and it is now a huge irrigation scheme. We also have Thiha Sagana, Iganjo, and Igotha in Gikondi irrigation schemes. We can start many other irrigation schemes and support them. I want to once again echo some of the sentiments by Members and our political party that as Members of Parliament, we must be pre-occupied with issues that deal with Wanjiku. Hon. Benjamin has also raised that issue. Members and our party must be pre-occupied with ensuring that the NG-CDF is entrenched into the Constitution. We must desist from diversionary tactics by some Members who want to talk about the presidential term limit. This is not necessary. By passing this proposal, we will help our country move forward. As the National Assembly, the country and Kenya Kwanza Government, we must be focused on issues that will help Wanjiku. I would like to ask our citizens not to pay attention to those diversionary voices on the presidential term limit."
