    "content": "been refrigerated for long in the supermarkets until the nutrients get killed. We need to encourage the Kenyan population, especially counties, to look into how to produce enough food for themselves and to even feed the rest of the country. In counties like Kajiado, we have areas like Nguruman and Loitoktok in Kajiado South, where we have permanent streams from Mount Kilimanjaro and also Nguruman. Those are areas where if we put a lot of attention as the national and county governments by providing funds and also putting strategies to make sure that we have empowered our people, we shall have our own food basket instead of importing yellow maize for consumption and even pasture for our animals. During the dry season before it rains, I used to see pastoralists buying wheat and hay from Narok and other regions even as far as Kitale. If we could also encourage irrigation, then it means we can feed our families and livestock from farm products which are left after we have generated our own food. It is high time the Ministry implemented this policy. The national and county governments should support it and make sure that this policy and the National Irrigation Bill, 2016, are implemented so as to help this country. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
