    "content": "I also want to address the issue of agro-processing which is connected to farming. Sadly, almost 60 per cent of the youth in Gatanga are unemployed. We should embrace agro- processing in agriculture like we have done with tea for avocados and macadamia. I believe and trust that our youth will get employment. This will enable us to expand the net of the people contributing towards paying taxes in this country. It is my belief that to do meaningful farming, we should embrace modern day technology. One of the things to do is to avoid reliance on the natural rain and embrace irrigation. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I will bring a Bill shortly to address the issue of water in Gatanga. It is sad to mention that Ndakaini Dam has been supplying the whole of Nairobi with water. All that water is diverted away and not a single drop of it is consumed by the people of Gatanga either domestically or even in terms of irrigation. I will table a Bill shortly before this House to address the issue of irrigation so that there can be equitable distribution of that water in such a way that the people of Gatanga where the dam is situated, can use it for irrigation and consumption as well as serve the people of Nairobi.
