    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to comment on one of the Statements which has been referred to my Committee. The issue of distribution of relief food in these affected areas is very critical. Sometimes the food supplied from the national Government do not reach the affected persons. Therefore, it is important that this House takes up this matter so that the supplies from the national Government which are taken to the regional, county and sub county offices reach the affected people. When I was serving as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Baringo North Constituency, we received communication about the ratio. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am sure that when you were an MP, you used to receive letters from the Office of the President (OP) saying 90 kilogrammes, 50 or 30 or 100 bags have been supplied to the sub counties. However, when you go there, you may receive less than that. Therefore, it is very critical that the Government ensures that what is being allocated to our locations, sub locations and our counties, is delivered. I appreciate the Statement from the Member. As the Chairperson of the addressed Committee, we will deeply go into this so that Kenyans benefit from what the Government provides."
