Implementing this Motion will help us sort out food insecurity in a certain way. I recently visited Paranai Primary School in my constituency and I saw a perfect example of what water can do in a school. The local community piped water to this school and teachers became innovative. I want to thank teachers of this country because they are always going out of their way to teach learners something they can get out of school. This school started a small irrigation project to feed children. The pupils can now have a balanced diet because they can get vegetables from the small garden. We are now sure that these pupils, who have seen a small garden with modern drip irrigation, will come out of that school with knowledge of doing the same in their later years. I want to congratulate Hon. Mwadime for this noble idea. Water is a necessity."}
