    "content": "consequences for household food scarcity, crop and livestock production, access to water, the nutritional status of children, and local coping strategies. The cumulative impact of two consecutive poor rainy seasons, coupled with the COVID- 19 Pandemic, insecurity, pests and diseases have caused a rapid rise in humanitarian needs in the arid and semi-arid lands of Kenya. It is as a result of this that the President of Kenya, on 8th September 2021 declared the drought situation a national disaster, with Mandera, Garissa, Wajir, Marsabit and Isiolo being the most affected. It is against this background that with your indulgence, I seek leave for the adjournment of the House to discuss this matter of national concern with a view to providing mitigation measures that may be lifesaving and life-sustaining assistance to the most affected by the drought through integrated humanitarian interventions and strengthening resilience of drought-affected communities to mitigate the impact of the drought. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
