    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am satisfied with the first question that I asked. In fact, what the Cabinet Secretary said is true; that we were with the Permanent Secretary (PS) for Irrigation, Kimotho and Eng. Mwas and Abud, and they did a wonderful job. We were there for a whole day. My second question is for the Cabinet Secretary to explain why the Gakuyuini Irrigation Water Project that was meant to add more than 500 acres under cultivation to Mwea Irrigation Scheme in Wamumu Ward, Kirinyaga County, has taken too long to implement. On the same, could the Cabinet Secretary apprise the Senate on the status of its implementation and indicate whether any funds have been allocated to the project in the Financial Year 2023/2024? Lastly on the same question, can the Cabinet Secretary provide a tentative commencement and completion timelines for the projects, so that the over 100 intended beneficiary can benefit and the President’s stated intention to increase land under irrigation and improve food security through increased rice production to make sure that the increased rice production is achieved? Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
