    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to add my voice that the response given by the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock is unsatisfactory. If you tell them to list those 18 irrigation schemes and 28 boreholes, you will realise that they are not there, particularly in the ASAL areas. So, the Hon. Member was given a report that he has struggled to read in Parliament. He needed to have read it and convinced himself that what he is reading to the House is reasonable. Unfortunately, there are many people who do not live in Arid and Semi-arid Lands (ASALs) but, because they want to take advantage of affirmative action which is provided for in the Constitution, everybody wants to claim that they are in ASALs. That is why they talk of Bomet, Nyeri and Murang’a being ASALs. What ASAL is there in Nyeri? Have you seen an arid and semi-arid land in this country? Why should people who live in good climatic condition areas want to claim that they are also in ASALs? It is so that they can benefit from the little that is meant to be allocated to the people who have been marginalised since 1965 by Sessional Paper No.10 of 1965. They want to continue reaping from the little benefit that we are supposed to get as provided for in the 2010 Constitution. So, Nyeri Town cannot be an ASAL. I do not know why the tallest man wants to talk about those things."
