    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I have provided a list of the bona fide farmers of Bura and Hola Irrigation Schemes, indicating the acreage for each farm in Annex 1. (b) The land under cultivation by the National Irrigation Board in Bura is 1,000 while that under the National Youth Service in Bura and Hola is 850 acres and 130 acres, respectively. The maize seeds produced by the National Irrigation Board in Bura were 3,748 bags and sold to the Kenya Seed Company. The proceeds from the sales, which is approximately Kshs16 million is used to increase the area under cultivation and improving farm infrastructure. The maize harvested by the National Youth Service at Hola and Bura was 1,223 bags and 279 tonnes respectively. The produce is intended to go to the National Strategic Food Reserve and harvesting is still in progress in Bura. (c) Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the land under the NYS Irrigation Scheme in Bura will revert back to the original farmers after completion of the rehabilitation works. However, the land utilized by the National Irrigation Board (NIB) at the NYS in Bura Irrigation Scheme is Government land."
