    "content": "the potential of Lake Turkana region are enormous. That is why we decided to flag it up as a project within Vision 2030 so that we can be able to attract the required funding. Mr. Speaker, Sir, within the Vision 2030, the Ministry of Water and Irrigation is planning to put up some irrigation schemes along River Omo. So, as that scheme is going on, the Ministry of Fisheries, in its vision for the region, wants to put up aqua-parks so that as they do irrigation, they can also do fish farming. Therefore, because of the enormity of the funds required to tap the potential of the lake region, we believe that, as a Ministry, we did the correct thing by putting these projects within Lake Turkana region under Vision 2030 because it is only then that we will be able to attract the funding required. If we just put it within our budgetary estimates within the Ministry, funds will never be provided for it because every financial year, it is always captured under the Ministry’s budget estimates, but it is always knocked off when the estimates are taken to Treasury. Therefore, we thought as a Ministry that the only way we can get this funding is not by putting it under the budgetary allocation of the Ministry, but putting it under Vision 2030 Flagship Projects, which of course will attract funding direct from Treasury."
