    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for that answer. I want also to thank him for the good job they are doing there. This is one project that should really help in more ways than one. The dam is in the Pokot County and the power generation plant is within the Turkana County. We were expecting that this project would actually bring the two communities closer than it is doing now. In fact, it is causing more conflicts among these communities. He says the plant is generating Kshs900 million per annum, but only Kshs45 million is given to KVDA which is supposed to be doing work in these two areas. If you look at the compensation he talked about of Kshs11 million was paid to 847 households in Pokot County. I appreciate it. However, part of the programme of this project was the cultivation of 100 hectares under irrigation on the lower catchment area of River Turkwel which is yet to be done and which will support a community that is food insecure. When will the Government ensure that the 100 hectares of irrigated land is done in order to help food security in the Turkana County?"
