    "content": "People always talk about water services being devolved. Yes, they are devolved, but the county governments share only 15 per cent of the Budget. The 85 per cent of resources remain here at the Ministry. In fact, they do not do much. At least they should be responsible enough to do something in emergency situations like these. They should do water trucking. The Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock should come up with some offtake plans so that the livestock can be sold now and when the situation gets better, the owners can have some income to repurchase the livestock. The cry has become a cycle. We always complain about drought every season but there are no long-term plans put in place. You can imagine around November we will have rains. The rains will destroy homesteads. There will be floods. All the water will be wasted. That means we need to have some serious plans. These agencies need to come up with a proper way of harvesting rain water. That is the only way we can resolve the water problem in these counties. What we seriously need now is to provide emergency feeds for the livestock, water trucking and offtake plans. They need to save lives because the situation is dire. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with those few remarks, I support this Motion. Thank you very much."
