    "content": "That is a question that should be taken seriously. I was disappointed because the President did not talk about the floods and irrigation in his Speech. We are talking about food security yet we are still relying on rain fed agriculture. Where are we going and what planning are we doing? There are areas that are irrigated such as the rice schemes in Mwea and Kisumu County. They should be structured properly for us to have crops throughout the year. If you go to these areas right now, people are suffering yet there is something that the Government can do. Lastly, I will address the issue of corruption. There was a time when the President took a bold step and brought a list in the House and he talked of the big fish. We have not seen any big fish arrested or the seriousness of Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC). We want the body to work by stopping corruption for Kenya to move forward. We are very grateful for the handshake and we have seen the relief that it has brought to the nation. We laud it and support it but some issues must be taken care of. The issue of corruption, agriculture and irrigation are top on the agenda for me. Thank you for giving me this opportunity."
