    "content": "We can no longer continue as our forefathers to chase the rain, even if it meant crossing the borders because there is very little rain due to the phenomenon that we are facing. We are talking about agriculture as an alternative mainstay for our people, so that they can grow their own food and fodder for their livestock. That way, we would be able to keep on practising our priced mainstay that is pastoralism and rearing of animals while, at the same time, growing our own food. This is where we are headed and we will be seeking as much help as possible in this direction. As we speak, there are throngs of aid workers criss-crossing Wajir County. The county government has re-jigged its budget and is offering relief aid to the people. We are thankful to the county Governor and also to organisations like Save the Children, Kenya Red Cross, United Nations Children’s Fund and many others including World Vision, which are giving lifesaving aid and water to the people in my constituency. There are seven wards in my constituency and, out of those wards; three of them are facing water shortage. So, as we can see, my work is really cut out for me. I represent people who are facing all those problems that I have listed. Hon. Temporary Speaker, we have a fantastic Motion in front of us today. It is one that deals with the provision of school meals to students. When I remember my childhood and growing up in North Eastern Kenya, the school feeding programme made a big difference by The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
