Kenya’s biggest export in volume -by far is water into the Indian Ocean .We get zero for it.If we can arrest even 5% and redirect it to irrigation ,we shall not only be food self sufficient but could become a major exporter and processor.Hope the next Gov can just do this ?

Now Uganda and TZ are exporting more food to Kenya than any other point in history.Did our weather change ?Did we industrialise ?Or did we just become sloppy in agriculture as we did in education and and health ?A sober reflection and recalibration needed in this land.
