    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, while we want the Government to do something about the water hyacinth, and I agree that something should be done, removing the water hyacinth alone is not going to improve the living standards of the people around the lake. The people need to be empowered. The Government is doing its bit and I want to challenge my colleagues that instead of hanging around a Hummer vehicle, they should go home and work for the people. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, a lot has been said here about the New Kenya Co- operative Creameries (KCC) not performing. I wish to confirm to the House that the New KCC factory in Eldoret will be fully operational by June. I am surprised that the people who are complaining here about the New KCC in Eldoret, are the same ones who cannibalised the factory. The Government has repaired the factory and it will be fully operational by June. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, again, I would have expected hon. Members from the ASAL areas and the dairy farming areas to congratulate the Government for first of all, allowing milk to be part of the food strategic reserve. About 2,000 metric tonnes of milk will be reserved every year. That is going to assist the dairy farmers and in future, all the milk that is delivered to the New KCC will be accepted and processed. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support."
