given enough money. These are very important Ministries. If the Government is serious about agriculture in this country, why should these two Ministries not be given adequate money?

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have irrigation schemes such as Bura, Pekerra, Marigat, and Mwea where we grow rice.

I beg my colleagues to support this Motion. It is very important for all the regions of this country. Food is very important. When there is food, children will be very happy and they will excel in their education. Businessmen also do their businesses properly if there is enough food. Food production can affect the economy of a country. Hunger is a disease. We should fight it by creating irrigation schemes in this country.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me start by thanking my colleagues for supporting this Motion. It is shameful. We have been told about Zambia, Malawi, India and other countries in the world that were behind us but are now exporting food to other countries. The Government is not really doing things right especially on allocation of funds. My desire is that in future, we should have an Inter-Ministerial Committee which will

include the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Water, Ministry of State for Development of Northern Kenya and Other Arid Lands and Ministry of Regional Development Authorities so that they can persuade the Treasury on proper allocation of funds to this very important Ministries. There is nothing important like food. Food is above everything else. People talk about food or other things when their stomachs are full. I thank everybody who has contributed on this Motion and wish that the Government would be serious in future in allocating funds. With those few remarks I beg to move.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to say that the Professor is not saying the truth. He is misleading the House; because all that he has said is that he will rehabilitate institutions and do ABCD. How many generations will be lost? How many people have lost their chances of joining tertiary institutions such as TTCs and other colleges? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want the Assistant Minister to state exactly when the rehabilitation is going to be done so that the students can be admitted to the colleges.
