    "content": "our people in the four corners of Kenya will have enough food and be able to live peacefully. Their way of life, whether it is pastoralism or farming, should not be endangered by the lack of rain. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it hardly rains in Egypt – they have rains maybe for one day in one year – but they get water from River Nile. If you go there, you might think that you are in paradise when you see what they have done using the water they get from River Nile. This House has become a place for lamentation. As legislators, we must begin focusing on providing solutions. We are the ones who make the National Budget. This is a Budget-making House. I am sorry to say that the man who is heading the National Treasury is taking everything to his constituency. Recently, there was an issue of off-take, where livestock is being taken off the pastoral people or farmers who keep livestock. Why do you focus on your home area only? Why not focus on the whole of Northern Kenya? Why not focus on ASAL areas? Sometimes we point fingers to the wrong people. We, the pastoralists are, at times, the problem in this country. The people who represent us in the Cabinet and in other institutions within the national Government just look after their own clans and small hamlets. I thank the President for declaring the current drought a national disaster, but he must go further and actualise it. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
