On top of that, a human being is supposed to have amenities that will keep their lives comfortable, one of which is water. These IDP camps do not have an ounce of water. How are people expected in the middle of the desert to live without water? You would also expect that these camps would have toilets. This is because when you consume food, you want to remove waste. However, there is no place to go thereby forcing people to relieve themselves in bushes where there are snakes. I do not know who built these IDP camps and why they ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is a wise decision because we just sit here and our electorate tell us that we do not talk in Parliament. It is also good to give us a chance.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, hon. Members are just making it what it should not be because they are making it appear a big deal. In as much as other Members have spoken about coffee, tea, maize and so on and so forth, I would like to speak on a different aspect of agriculture. While money is dumped in some special parts of the country, money should also be spread all over the country especially in the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs).

Therefore, I urge the Government to allocate adequate resources to those regions of our county so that our people can engage themselves in agricultural activities to produce enough food.

I know that the colonialists are the ones who put us in this mess. They created these ...
