    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise, pursuant to Standing Order No.48 (1), to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations on the declassification of Machakos County as an arid and semi-arid area (ASAL). In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Explain why Machakos County was declassified as an ASAL by the National Drought Management Authority (NDMA) and indicate whether relevant stakeholders were involved, through public participation and, if so, table evidence of the same. (2) Provide details on the funds allocated to drought mitigation measures in the country by government and donors for the last five years, detailing the amount allocated to Machakos County prior to the de-classification. (3) State the targeted interventions, detailing the activities and measures put in place by the Ministry of Devolution and ASALS, the NDMA and the Machakos County Government to avert drought and famine in the county. (4) Avail audited financial records by the Ministry of Devolution and ASALS, the NDMA and Machakos County Government on funds allocated towards programmes to mitigate drought and famine in the county from the year 2014 to date. (5) Confirm whether classification of Machakos County as a semi-arid area will be reinstated by the NDMA and, if so, when. Thank you."
