True...sometime back there was some bumper harvest in one of this irrigation schemes and most of the food went to waste. The biggest problem with gok is that when it thinks about food, it just thinks about maize. What about wheat, rice, potato etc. Even other crops such as soybean, canola, sugarbeet, barley, cotton, sorghum, millet etc should be promoted to reduce reliance on imports of products eg cooking oil, sugar etc. Very true. Some time last year I watched a CNN programmer about a Scottish company that makes wine from potatoes and I couldn't help thinking of out potatoes which rot in the farms of Nyahururu due to inaccessible roads whenever it rains. Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.
