    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate that question, because it is seeking information to the hon. Member and this House in general. It is common knowledge, and hon. Wario knows it, that the Ministry visited Bura Irrigation Scheme in August in the presence of His Excellency the President and a large delegation. During this visit specific areas of implementation and revitalisation of Bura Irrigation Scheme were discussed. The hon. Member knows that, and this is again in the public domain, the Government of Kenya, through my Ministry and that of Water and Irrigation, is spending substantial sums of money this financial year to revive the Bura Irrigation Scheme. In response to the question raised by the Prof. Anyang'-Nyong'o, I think it is imperative that the issue of food security is not restricted to constituencies. It should be looked at from a national perspective. This is why I would encourage every hon. Member to look at the Strategy for Revitalisation of Agriculture in order to see what the Ministry is doing to address the issue of food security in the country."
