The idea of irrigation is noble, but the way we are implementing it has refused to work. Is this money that we are sending to waste or it is for paying contractors so that they can line their pockets? Let us think twice. Let us return this money to the Ministry of Water for other uses. Galana Kulalu will not produce even a bag of maize. It will not. All the irrigation fields have dried up because of mismanagement and improper allocation of money. A sum of Ksh23 billion is a lot of money, Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee."},{"id":1433252,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1433252/?format=json","text_counter":522,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Hon.

Nowadays, what we do in irrigation focuses on households. Empirically, the harvest of maize from last year to date has gone up by over 30 per cent, from 45 million bags to the current 65 million bags. It is a result of a combination of many things, including provision of fertilisers and ceasing over-reliance on rain-fed agriculture. It is working. I invite Hon. Junet for a trip around the country to see very many successful irrigation projects."},{"id":1433254,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1433254/?format=json","text_counter":524,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Kiharu, UDA","speaker_title":"Hon.
