    "content": "Lastly, we do not want to talk about irrigation for the sake of crops. We also have to talk about irrigation for the sake of animals as well. Animals are also part of the food system where we do crops. It will also be advisable to have a small dam for animals. If all is said and done correctly, then food shortages will be history in this country. In the lake region, which I have mentioned, there are important counties like Homa Bay, where I come from. Siaya, Kisumu, Kisii and Nandi have so many strategic hills. We need to pump water to the top of those hills and let it come down gradually or by gravitational pull. That will take very little techniques and it is easy to maintain. Somebody said here that we have so many irrigation schemes, but they are not doing very well. Mechanization and maintenance is also a challenge. For example, the nearest hill is called Luri. If we can take water to the top of Luri and let it flow to Ndhiwa area, I am sure our level of productivity will be very high. Other areas like Nandi Hills and Huma Hills can also do the same."
