    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53 (1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources regarding the expansion and improvement of irrigation infrastructure at Kibirigwi Irrigation Farmers Corporative Society Limited, KIFCO project in Kirinyaga County. In the Statement the Committee should – (1) Confirm whether there are plans to expand and improve the irrigation infrastructure for the scheme, considering the increased membership from 277 to 1000 members without a corresponding expansion undermining its optimal performance. (2) Indicate whether there are any plans by the Ministry of Water, Sanitation and Irrigation to established and independent water supply for Kibigoto and Kiberegwe urban centres, which currently depend on KIFCO for their watering. (3) Explain any measures including budgetary allocation that the national Government has put in place to address the infrastructural challenges in terms of access to water and good loans faced by farmers and other water users in the said project. I thank you."
