    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this time. I want to be very brief. In the past two seasons, there has not been any rain and, therefore, crops have failed in the lower Eastern counties. There is a lot of drought and famine in Masinga, as it is one of the constituencies in the lower Eastern. Therefore, we need an intervention by the Government so that our people can be fed. Students are missing school because there is no food to eat at home. The Government needs to take measures. It is amazing that even when it rains, the water still flows to the Indian Ocean. We need to do something, because many years have passed since Independence, and the water is still flowing to the Indian Ocean. If we build many dams to contain the water, we can irrigate our farms and be food-sufficient. With those few remarks, because I can see time is up, I urge the Government to supply food, especially to my Masinga Constituency and all the lower Eastern constituencies, because our people are suffering."
