    "content": "strategic irrigation schemes that can enable us to have a sustainable food security programme. Water is central in all this. We have many times spent a lot of money in managing our infrastructure like our rural roads. When the rains come we are happy because they enable us to have food. However, the rains wash away roads. We are all the time using money to construct and repair roads. It is very important that when we are reviewing these policies we see how we can invest strategically even in the construction and management of all-weather roads. This way we will not have water which is not managed, and which washes away our roads. In Shinyalu Constituency, we have rain 330 days in a year. Our roads are bad because the rains wash them away. We love rain because it sustains our forests and gives us food. However, the side effects of washing away roads make it impossible for our people to do business and move around. It is important for us to plan, so that we have a properly co-ordinated investment in the management of water. Here I am talking about water collection. We can have proper drainage systems that can collect water that is always running on the roads and direct it to areas that need it for irrigation. This way, we will have both food and roads as well. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I support."
