    "content": "That is what I saw in the 1980s. Eddie Burrows, the researcher who started this project, just wanted to try ideas without experimenting. Those same ideas have brought hazards and destroyed our ecosystem. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have resources now going to counties. I saw some alterations in the budget for Turkana County, and this is already coming up as an issue. We need the county governments to try their own ideas. In this particular matter, we want to see how we can use our county resources to curtail the expansion of these issues, so that we can increase food production in Turkana. One of the rivers in Turkana, River Turkwel, has ten times the potential of Trans Nzoia if we used it for irrigation. Trans Nzoia is the breadbasket of this country and here is one river in Turkana that has ten times the potential of one county. These tree species are attempting to actually destroy the whole river. That is why I feel that this is a very important Motion for me and the country. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank you and the House for listening to me. I urge other Members to support this Motion. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move and call upon Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo to second the Motion."
