    "content": " Hon. Temporary Chairlady, the idea might be noble. We want to do irrigation in the country, but we have been allocating money to irrigation for the last 10 years. Show me one irrigation scheme that produces food for this country. We are allocating Ksh23 billion to irrigation at very difficult times when we are talking about instituting austerity measures and reducing the Budget. This is just money to pay contractors. The biggest corruption happens in the irrigation system. We are allocating money to Galana Kulalu, which is a failed project that has not produced even two bags of maize. Are we children? Why are we being taken for a ride? I beseech the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee to remove this money from that State Department for Irrigation and take it to the State Department for Water, so that people can get water pans and wells. This money is only for recurrent expenditure in that Department."
