Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think it is only fair that although we have allocated 10 minutes to chairmen of various committees, this House must be informed fully. With your discretion, please, add more minutes to those chairmen who are making presentations. It is very important for this country. I know we passed 10 minutes but you can see that some of the presentations are quite lengthy. Therefore, we cannot just say it must be 10 minutes. So, I think it is in order for us to give these people more time to be able to make presentations. For example, ...

from Trans Nzoia and I am not happy, I can tell you maize farmers are frustrated, I being one of them because of the way the Government is handling us in this country. We are now looking for an alternative way of dealing with this problem. I will be at the forefront advising farmers in the area to stop planting maize and grow something else so that we can be happy like other people. Frustrated farmers are very disheartened and are not interested in growing maize again. Therefore, we will turn to something else that can give us some income. ...

basket in the North Rift. I think the President is doing very well and he has changed his style of talking and I support him. While I appreciate the renewed effort in fighting corruption, I want us to borrow from China where if someone is found guilty of corruption, he or she is taken by family members and possibly relatives to a firing squad. This can change the habits of Kenyans and is the only way we are going to fight corruption in this country.

On food security, the Government is right and I want to criticise it on the same. The army worm invaded the crop in North and South Rift and other parts of this country and the Government was very slow in fighting the worms. The Government should prepare for food shortage in this country because I know this year’s harvest is going to be poor. The army worms invaded the North Rift and particularly Trans Nzoia and Uasin Gishu regions which produce maize. Therefore, there will be food shortage.

The President mentioned our overreliance on rain-fed agriculture. I want to commend the Government for investing money and a number of resources on irrigation. This country has relied on rain-fed agriculture and because of erratic weather patterns and long droughts we are now investing in irrigation. I want to commend the Government and the President for investing heavily in irrigation. On transport, something needs to be done. The President noted with concern the increased road accidents. I think another thing we should have done like yesterday is redesigning the country’s road network. I think we passed a Motion in this ...
