When the President was there, he promised Kshs400 million whereas Kshs115 million was supposed to be gotten from the county government for purposes of dam lining of the same scheme.

Asante, Bw. Spika. Kwanza ninaunga mkono Ardhilhali iliyoletwa na watu wa Kaunti za Kajiado na Bomet. Ingawa tunajitahidi kufanya ukulima wa mahindi na mimea mingine, shida kubwa ambayo tuko nayo ni wadudu, viwavi na ndege wanaoharibu mimea. Ni vizuri tuwashike mkono wakulima haswa wa mahindi, kwa sababu hicho ndicho chakula ambacho kinaliwa sana nchini.
