    "content": "River District, Tana Delta and Bura. On the issue of KenGen, that is another issue. It affects my constituency. It is an issue that the new Cabinet Secretary for Water and Environment must look at in terms of how to harvest water. Water harvesting is a key issue in the pastoral areas. A policy document must be brought to this House stating that every time we have floods, what follows is drought. So, why can we not harvest that water and use it during the drought for animals and domestic use? Canon Rasso raised the issue that Tana River is known for conflicts and floods, yet it has the potential of producing a lot of food. I want to assure you that today, the Cabinet that this House approved yesterday has been sworn in. The Jubilee Government will put one million acres of land under irrigation in Bura and Hola and food insecurity will be a thing of the past for this Government. I can assure you that. Hon. (Ms.) T.G. Ali also talked about a long lasting solution. Hon. Speaker, Sir, hon. Midiwo is a bit disturbed. The Leader of the Majority Party happens to come from the coalition that is in power and when I speak, I speak for that coalition. It is not me that made the coalition that is in power to be that of Jubilee. So, I will always speak for them."
