    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Motion by the Member for Garissa Township is very timely. This country is facing a very serious drought, which is majorly affecting the pastoralist- dominated areas, including my constituency. The livelihood of the pastoralist community entirely depends on livestock. We do not have farms to grow maize and other plantations. As pastoralists communities, we only rear cows, camels and goats. Now, with the weather patterns, there is no rain. The pastoralist communities are thus exposed to real danger, where their animals are dying for lack of pasture, and people are also dying. I really would have wanted to extend my talk on this particular issue. I want to applaud the President for declaring this drought a national disaster. With those few remarks, I want to thank you. I hope that the Government can walk the talk so that pastoralist communities can have some food on the table. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
