"content": "For the first time, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance has walked the talk and has put in this Budget the road between Garissa, Modogashe and Isiolo where the donor community has spend close to USÂŁ55 million. I am happy that today, the Kenya Government, through the Budget, has confirmed and committed the other bit. We must think in terms of equity; that when we built a road to Eldoret or Othaya and Bondo where the President and the Prime Minister hail from, then you must also build a road to North Horr, Dujis and Wajir North. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to say that for the first time, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance has invested over Kshs3 billion in the irrigation sector in order to increase the food security of this country. We cannot depend on rain water for sustainable agriculture. In order to achieve food security, we must find a way of putting more money in irrigation. I hope that the Minister for Agriculture, Mr. Samoei, will look at some areas like my constituency which has a potential for 20,000 hectares for irrigation farming."
