    "content": "Having said that, this year’s Budget for 2015/2016, should have focused more especially on food production; we know that most parts of our country are arid. We should remember that His Excellency the President said that there will be a lot of investment in terms of doing irrigation and building dams. When I looked at this report, I found that the estimates given - I had even participated in a meeting where the President mentioned the issue of dams, especially in Meru region - did not have what the President said. Despite the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee having said that he had consultations with the President, he should have gathered the information which was given in particular meetings. Therefore, I emphasize that we need dams to irrigate our arid lands and those areas where we need to produce food. We need to supply water to our people because there is a perennial water problem in most parts of this country."
