    "content": "The Committee met the National Irrigation Board, the contractor of the projects, the governor and officials of the County Government of Kilifi among others. Of concern to the Committee was that whereas a significant portion of the project is still incomplete, the total payments made so far is Kshs6,107,133,000.00 out of the contract sum of Kshs7,294,853,000.36. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in addition, out of the 10,000 acres under the contract, only 5,100 acres are complete. This matter is still actively before our Committee. We shall be tabling a full report in the Senate once we have concluded consideration of the matter. On 8th April, 2019, the Committee visited Marsabit County to establish the challenges facing livestock farmers and the implementation status of the Kenya Livestock Insurance Programme (KLIP). The Committee met with officials of the county government, the county assembly and livestock farmers. It was noted that the KLIP has not been very effective and that data captured under the programme was inaccurate. Use of satellite to monitor vegetation for payment to farmer was also found to be inaccurate, as it captures the mathenge plant which is not consumed by animals. The Committee also participated in a high level sugar consultative meeting in Kisumu on 11th March, 2019, organised by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
