    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was there on 19th of August, 2006, when the President and the Assistant Minister for Water and Irrigation at that time, Mr. Raphael Wanjala said in a public rally that they will pump in Kshs170 million to revive the Bura Irrigation Scheme. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the same remarks were repeated in Irimani Secondary School when the President held a leaders meeting. I want to know from the Assistant Minister whether, indeed, that money was released by the Government. Does it make any sense right now for two acres, which yield 60 bags to be deducted 55 bags of maize to meet the cost of fertilizer, water costs and everything, leaving the farmers with five bags? The NIB does not pay that money to the farmers. When will the Government start making the growing of maize in that place profitable? When will the Government pump the Kshs170 million that was promised by the President in 2006?"
