    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the last time the hon. Minister was answering a Question related to irrigation schemes, she was so apprehensive that she refused to answer the Question. But even as of today, I doubt whether the Minister looked at the answer she is presenting to me before she came to the House, because my Question in part “a” was very specific. I am asking whether the Minister is aware that gains made on the 3000 acres by the NYS is being lost because of degradation, but she only says that the NYS were able to utilize 1000 out of the 3000 acres. What has become of the other 2000 acres? Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to table a letter that I wrote to the Ministry on 19th March, 2012 and I quote one paragraph saying that: “Two years now, the NYS has only been able to cultivate 800 of the 3000 acres envisaged. The infrastructure development gains realized on the 3000 acres by the Government is now in jeopardy as the prosopis plants is taking over. Prosopis is the famous Mathenge tree. The Minister does not even attempt to answer that part of the Question. If I go to part (c) of the Question, when asked why the land is being allocated to the people, she cites an Act that is under review by the inter-governmental committee co-ordinated by the NIB. But in part (b) of the answer, she says that the 2000 acres which have been cultivated by the NIB is about to be distributed to the public. So, which Act are they"
