    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I appreciate the answer given by the Assistant Minister, on the face of it, the whole answer is generalized. In part “a” (ii) of his reply, he talks about “excavated 48 water pans”. It does not talk about the names and where they are located because he was specific. In part “a” (iii) which are the permanent canals that they have built? As you are aware, northern Kenya has been reduced to a permanent recipient of bad relief food since 1969 and that is almost close to 40 years. The Government has attempted to address the provisions of Sessional Paper No.1 of 1969 in all other parts of Kenya except North Eastern Province. So, I want the Assistant Minister to tell us which are these pans and where they are located and how much the Government has spent since 1969. Which are these permanent canals and why the Government has not implemented the major hydrological survey carried out on the Lorian Swamp in 1974 by an Israeli- based company which recommended that if irrigated, that area can provide us water to irrigate, not only in North Eastern Province but the whole of Kenya?"
