    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for allowing me to add my voice to this very important statement. I congratulate the Member who has brought it. It is quite relevant to many of us. Maybe that is why you see some people getting emotional. It is affecting us and some people are already losing lives. The situation is so bad at the moment. As a result of the drought, some school-going children are fainting in classrooms. Others are not going to school at all. Lactating mothers and pregnant women are getting sick and weaker. We have children under the age of five who are already malnourished and the situation is getting worse every day. The elderly are the most affected. There are people who have already lost lives and others cannot even wake up from their beds. While in the 12th Parliament, while I was in Senate, I remember we debated this matter about two times. According to my observation, drought comes after every three years. This time round it is quite serious. For the last four seasons, many areas have not received rains. That means the situation is worse than any other time we have had drought. That is why we are requesting that it be declared famine so that it receives the attention it deserves."
