    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you. My point is to guide my colleagues in the House. My Committee has received a number of statements on matters drought and food distribution. Yesterday, the Cabinet Secretary in charge of the East Africa, Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs) and Regional Development, appeared before my Committee to answer questions touching on the issue of relief distribution and so on. What we learnt in that session is that, the Department of Special Programs under Executive Order No. 1 is now squarely in the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection. Mr. Deputy, Speaker, Sir, to make this clear so that as my colleagues continue to raise questions, they should refer to the Executive Order No.1 so that they direct the questions to the relevant departments. My brother, Sen. Osotsi, raised an issue on the same subject which was read in the morning. I felt it was good for me to state that as a responsible Chairperson and to assist my colleagues so that in future, they raise questions on relief distribution to the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection. That will save Members’ time rather than, directing questions to my Committee, then we write to you. We lose a lot of time. That is all that I wanted to clarify today. Thank you."
