    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it depends on how you look at it. If you can dig 100 feet and get water, you cannot call that a desert. We can get water anywhere in this country. Ewaso Nyiro cuts across the northern region. Tana River flows next to Garissa. You just need to go with a bucket and get water. I am sorry but this is the naivety that has led this country to where we are. There is water in every part of Kenya. In Ukambani here, I wish we could dig simple earth dams of 100 feet so that we can get water. We will then see the miracles that the people of that area will get. They would feed this nation. The Ministry of Water and Irrigation, truly, should have a prime duty to provide food. We have seen what has happened in Bura. However, when people grow food, they have nowhere to sell it. Therefore, this whole thing has to do with leadership and planning. Buying food is not the solution to our country’s hunger. Our solution is in our planning and our leadership that is focused and not based on papers called “Vision 2030” which may as well be “Vision 3020.”"
