    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to air my voice on this very important issue of drought. I thank Sen. Ali Roba for bringing this very important Motion before this House. Counties in ASALs areas are the most affected. As the Senator for Baringo County has stated, this issue of drought has been a problem for a long time. I agree with him that there have been subsequent Governments that have failed to provide a long-lasting solution for this problem. I come from Lamu County where we have villages, and farmers and pastoralists are currently adversely affected by this menace. I would propose that this House formulates a mechanism on how these people who are mostly affected will be identified. As the Government provides a temporary measure of relief, we need to go to the right people, who are currently in dire need of the support. As I windup, I would wish to commend His Excellency the President who I saw last time flagging off the distribution of relief food to counties that are mostly affected. I wish to put governors and county administrators on notice. When this relief food reach to their counties, they should make sure that it is evenly distributed to the needy people, so that they get this food. I propose that this Government formulates a follow up mechanism on how this food will be distributed to our people. I support"
