"content": "When we concentrate in doing agriculture in places which are highly populated like in Western Kenya or Kisii, you do not get a lot of land for farming but when you go to areas like Ukambani where I come from, there is so much land but there is no water. The soils are fertile but there is no water. We do not want any relief food. We want dams so that we can irrigate our farms and grow our foods. We want to be food secure. We also have dams that are silted over many years. We have Masinga Dam which is a very big dam that was done during the colonial period. We have appealed to various governments to excavate that dam. That will give the people of Kitui water. If that dam can be done, we will sort food problems in that region. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
