    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for granting me this time. Let me first start by thanking the Almighty God for giving us this opportunity. Let me also take this opportunity to thank the people of Njoro Constituency for re-electing me as their Member of Parliament. Let me also take this time to thank Kenyans for electing our able President William Samoei Ruto. I also take this time to congratulate you as our Deputy Speaker. In the same line, I also thank Kenyans for electing women and electing Charity Kathambi Chepkwony as a Member of Parliament for Njoro Constituency. Let me go to today’s topic in relation to drought. When we talk about drought in this National Assembly, what comes to my mind is to remind Members of Parliament and the country that this is part of climate change. Climate change is real, and it is affecting us. We have seen floods and are now talking about drought as a Motion in this Parliament. We have experienced many challenges. My issue is that as we talk about drought, it is now almost 60 years since Independence. Now that we have elected a very capable Parliament and Government led by His Excellency President William Samoei Ruto, I propose that we now talk about short-term and long-term ways of mitigating drought and adopting solutions for the country.
