    "content": "At the same time, the country is considering doing irrigation. We need extension officers who will help the country to deal with drip irrigation. That is sort of modern farming which is non-rain-fed agriculture. That is why we are doing the Thwake Dam in Makueni to enables us have water in Kitui, Makueni, Kajiado and Machakos counties, so that farmers can use it for irrigation as well as construction of Konza Technopolis. The project is important. It had stalled but I am sure there are top gear activities going on by the National Treasury and the Ministry of Water, Sanitation and Irrigation to make sure that construction of Thwake Dam continues. We look forward to having extension officers so that when we begin irrigation in the country--- Many parts of Kenya are Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs). For us to do irrigation, we need to train officers who can direct Kenyans in all areas, including animal husbandry as it used to be. We are looking forward to enactment of this law."
