    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will give the Chairman enough time. Thank you for this opportunity. I want to congratulate the Minister and his technocrats for the manner in which they run the Ministry. I think if there is any Minister in Government who understands the operations of his Ministry in detail, it is this Minister. I want to say that we can no longer rely on rain-fed agriculture because of global warming. It is for that reason that we want to support the recommendations by the Minister on desilting. He is spending Kshs9 billion to be paid by Treasury in installments for desilting all dams. We hope that these dams will be used to do small-scale drip irrigation using modern technology, to increase our food production. I also want to congratulate the Ministry for the huge irrigation programmes that they are reviving. I would like to say that we should not forget the small-scale farmers."
