Deputy Speaker, we have entities like the Bura Irrigation Scheme that are white elephants. The Bura project has not performed very well because from inception the idea was just to create jobs for some people based on political patronage; it does not have professional management. The problem with our big agro-based companies is that we have corruption and mismanagement; these have become the order of the day; corruption that has guzzled a lot of taxpayers’ money."}
