    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I beg to move the following Motion on Drought and Hunger Mitigation in Turkana County- THAT, aware that Turkana County continues to experience extremely dry weather conditions with the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reporting that the aggregate rainfall for the six months ending September 2022 represented only 21 percent of the normal rainfall; FURTHER AWARE that the prevailing weather conditions have resulted in the drying up of wells, boreholes, loss of pasture, and crops, therefore rendering any form of farming impracticable; ACKNOWLEDGING that the residents of the County are predominantly pastoralists who keep cattle, donkeys, camels, and goats for food and income and that the loss of this livestock is a loss of livelihood for them; NOTING that the prevailing drought has resulted in the death of more than half of the livestock in the County thereby pushing eight hundred thousand residents to the brink of starvation and resulting in the highest-ever rate of acute malnutrition in the County at 33 percent."
