    "content": " Yes. I want to inform the Majority Whip that we have an allocation in the NG-CDF for emergencies. If you understand what emergency means, then you know that drought can also be classified under that. That money can be used in water trapping and carrying out projects that can help alleviate the situation. However, let me proceed with my point, because I do not want to dwell on that, as it is going to deflect my attention from what I wanted to say. We wanted our Government to appeal to the international donor community and the United Nations (UN) agencies to release its coffers. I am very saddened by the Government because I can see that people are putting a lot of blame on the Cabinet Secretary, National Treasury and Planning. However, I want to state that the Government works in unison. The Head of State declared drought a national disaster, and we have a Cabinet. I understand that there was a Cabinet meeting today, and I want to state that it is the responsibility of all Government departments to address this issue collectively. It is not going to be a one-man show. The CS for National Treasury and Planning might help, but we expect all the Cabinet Secretaries to take up their positions and address this issue.
