    "content": "The President mentioned our overreliance on rain-fed agriculture. I want to commend the Government for investing money and a number of resources on irrigation. This country has relied on rain-fed agriculture and because of erratic weather patterns and long droughts we are now investing in irrigation. I want to commend the Government and the President for investing heavily in irrigation. On transport, something needs to be done. The President noted with concern the increased road accidents. I think another thing we should have done like yesterday is redesigning the country’s road network. I think we passed a Motion in this House on having designated lanes specifically for pedestrians, motorcyclists and ambulances. That will help us sort some of the problems we are facing. Therefore, I agree with His Excellency the President on this. We have heard about five cases in western Kenya where even as we talk, tractors are transporting sugarcane after 6.00 p.m. This House talked about this and passed a Motion providing that transportation of sugarcane in western Kenya should not be done after 6.00p.m. This Motion should be followed-up and fast-tracked so that anybody caught transporting sugarcane at night is fined heavily. Many people in western Kenya have lost their lives as a result of this."
