    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Before I contribute, I want to register my appreciation to the House on the Marsabit debate. Either way, it has been considered to be a matter of national importance. We are not going to take the security of our people lightly, wherever they are. I thank Hon. Aden Duale for this Motion. Colleagues who have spoken before me have said so much about the government. The issue of drought is becoming a song, particularly in norther Kenya. While we point an accusing finger at the national government, we must also begin pointing fingers at the county governments. We allocate enormous resources to them. Nobody stops anyone from allocating resources to help their people. It is the MCAs who budget in the county governments. It is governors and their mandarins who allocate resources to whatever they think is priority. Lack of food, pasture and water has been caused by under investment in these vast areas. Climate change is with us. There will be floods and long periods of drought. When it rains, the rains will be much heavier than before. The sea level is also rising. Scientists tell us all these things day in, day out. It will not be a surprise to be told that it will not rain for the next one year. What will happen then? Are we just going to come to this House to cry? We must begin to look at how The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
