    "content": "When you look at the issue of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), it includes issues such as feeding the hungry and matters food security in the country. When you look at the Jubilee Manifesto and the Big Four Agenda, you realise that the issue of food security was given a priority. You cannot preach water and drink wine. If you are talking about issues of food security, you must put in place mitigation strategies and give them heavy funding. In Trans Nzoia where I come from, farmers are also suffering. The Government is supposed to provide subsidised inputs, if it is at all serious when it comes to matters food security. When it comes to emergencies like this one, the county government is the first line of defence. They are given monies for emergencies. The national Government also has an emergency kitty. We are calling upon the national Government and the county governments to move with speed, utilise the emergency funds and help our colleagues mitigate the risk of the current drought. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support the Motion."
