"content": "In fact, a lot has been said about irrigating a million acres of land in this country within the next five years. Whereas I may not have a big problem with such an adventure of irrigating land, I think it is important for us to basically dwell on those areas that are capable of producing food today through rain-fed agriculture. There are many places in this country that we do not consider as food baskets. I have in mind areas like Ndeiya in Limuru and Kikuyu constituencies where farmers are unable to access fertilizer and seedlings. Even the fertilizer that the hon. Member from Bungoma has said is procured through the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) does not reach our farmers. The fertilizers and seeds are basically taken to certain areas in the North Rift and other areas, which are considered to be the food baskets of this country, thereby ignoring other areas which could also help this country. There is a lot of arable land but because farmers are poor and cannot afford seeds and fertilizers they are unable to produce food."
