    "content": "Therefore, my proposal is for an urgent intervention, including declaring drought a national disaster. Secondly, we urgently plead for a collective intervention by the national Government, county governments, Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and the private sector. The private sector has been doing some initiatives such as Kenyans for Kenya. We ask this House to enhance the budget of the National Drought Management Authority (NDMA), so that they can increase the number of households that will benefit from the Cash Transfer Programme. The same organisation, the NDMA, can buy hay for our cattle. It can buy food for our people because I do not know the last time we received Government support. We have not received it almost the whole of this year. It is my prayer that this House will listen to our plea. When I was presenting this Motion, I know some Members, including the Leader of the Majority Party, were saying it has started raining. We appreciate that Nairobi and other areas have been blessed but I urge the Leader of the Majority Party to start touring this country so that he can appreciate what I am talking about. We do not have anything for our livestock to eat. They are dying. People will probably start eating stones. With those few remarks, I move and request my brother, Hon. Sankok, to second."
