    "content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that under the Economic Stimulus Programme, 2000 acres of land in Bura was allocated to the National Youth Service (NYS) under the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports for production of maize. The NYS was not able to utilize all the land as they did not have adequate resources but only utilized 1000 acres out of the 3000 acres. (b) I am not aware that residents are in the process of acquiring the land unprocedurally as the National Irrigation Board is yet to put up irrigation infrastructure in the remaining 2000 acres of the 3000 acres under the NYS before it can be allocated to farmers. However, the NIB has just completed installation of irrigation infrastructure in another additional 2000 acres which is not under the NYS and is in the process of allocating the same to farmers for production. (c)The allocation of land to residents is carried out by an inter-governmental committee co-oridnated by the NIB as per the Irrigation Act, Cap.347 of 1966, which is currently under repeal."
