    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Ministry of Agriculture is currently involved in a massive water harvesting process. The objective of that is to regulate runoff flows whose accumulation causes big gullies in many parts of the country. At the same time, we have intensified farm soil and water conservation. Under that proposal, farmers will be required to undertake biological and physical soil conservation measures such as retention of ditches, culvert drains, terracing and vegetative materials to control runoff. We also have compulsory tree planting exercises where most farms are required to, at least, have 10 per cent of the farms under trees. Finally, we are encouraging fencing off of gullies and rehabilitated sites. That is because in Nyakach, there are serious gullies all the way from the plateaus. We are encouraging the fencing off of the gullies so that the areas can be rehabilitated."
