"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, Mr. Mwangi asked âWhy Kajiadoâ, because Maasai are all over. We have got a committee of experts that has categorised these districts. I do not want the hon. Member to think that we have neglected other parts of the country. This is the categorisation. The very pink ones on that list are the 11, but there are others down there. Under the second category, we have got Makueni, Machakos, West Pokot, Moyale, Kajiado, Narok, Ijara, Baringo, Kwale, et cetera . In the second one, we have got Koibatek, Maragwa, Taita Taveta and Malindi. Then there is Mbeere, Tharaka, Meru North, Kilifi and Lamu. However, the first lot I have mentioned are the first 11, but we are not neglecting any part of the country. We are going to carry out operations in all these other districts as well. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Mr. Wamalwa has talked about the AFC loans. Yes, that issue has been raised. It is a matter that is still under consideration. I am not able, at this point in time, to give an undertaking that we are going to write off the AFC loans, but I know that the matter is under consideration by the Government. I think I have answered the question raised by Mr. Mwadeghu as well as that raised by Mr. ole Lankas. On hon. James Kamauâs question, yes, long-term solutions are required to this problem. That is why we have begun the process of re-introducing irrigation. As I have mentioned in my Statement, after next week, we are going to re-launch the irrigation scheme in Bura. We are also reviving Pekera, Mwea and Ahero irrigation schemes. We are also going to start new irrigation schemes in the country. So, that is the long-term solution. The other one is also to conserve our environment. I addressed that matter extensively last week."
