Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I represent Baringo County, another ASAL area. The President of the Republic of Kenya gave us hope when we were being butchered during the spate of cattle rustling.

However, we must develop policies that will bring water for irrigation in those areas. I thank Sen. Ali Roba and assure him that we are together in this. view
