    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, as we discuss about food security, we should look at water pans and small dams that we should construct, so that our people can irrigate their crops. Secondly, we can have clean and safe water for our people. I want to agree with Sen. (Dr.) Ali that going forward, the issue of food security should be given more weight in terms of ensuring that we have irrigation. This project should be completed in time so that our people benefit from it. We hope that in future, Wajir County will be food secure. We should not only rely on the North Rift for food. As I speak today, farmers in the North Rift do not have adequate fertilizer to plant. I would like to see North Eastern becoming a food basket for this country and we stop relying on food from Bungoma, Nandi, Uasin Gishu or Trans Nzoia counties. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I support the Statement, I expect that the Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources will come back with answers so that these projects are completed in time and benefit our people."
