    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Bill because we are dealing with county issues. Kisi County experience good rains. If we can practice irrigation, Kisii County can supply the whole of Kenya with food. We are blessed with good rains and natural stones. Hon. Silvanus Osoro’s Constituency, South Mugirango, has the best soapstone. We wonder why the Ministry has not done anything about the soapstone. If Kisii County can do proper irrigation and get good roads; and the Government does something on the soapstone, our food baskets will be full and we will be able to feed the whole of Kenya, and even our neighbouring countries. A combination of what we will have from Trans-Nzoia and Kakamega counties where they plant maize in plenty will be enough. It is only that we do not do our calculations well. We miss a little. In the budget allocations, they allocated Ksh940 million to the Ministry of Education to deal with issues of sanitary pads which I thought was misplaced. How do you give the Ministry of Education to handle an issue that can be handled by women representatives? If we allocate resources to the right places, we would not be begging and complaining. The demonstrations that are happening in our country are because people are hungry and suffering. If they have jobs, they will have no time to participate in them. As I sit down, I would like to donate some minutes to other Members. Let us have the right priorities in a particular place instead of misplacing everything that can help our people. Thank you very much."
