    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this Ministry's Vote. Among the duties that the Ministry for Water and Irrigation has in this country is food security through irrigation. That has been done. A lot of good work has been done, including the reviving of a number of irrigation projects in this country. We appreciate and thank the Ministry for that work. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have one problem with the irrigation scheme in Nyando District. I thank the Government for the good work of reviving the Ahero and West Kano irrigation schemes. But there is a problem of the Government not providing money for the farmers' recurrent expenses. Previously, the Government used to provide money to farmers to do whatever they wanted to do. But now, it is a different thing. The problem it has caused is: It has created room for thugs who come to the schemes in the name of people owning microfinance institutions to support the farmers."
