    "content": "Let me weigh in on today’s Motion on drought. I want to agree with Members who have already spoken that the drought being experienced in this country this time round is the worst ever. It has not only affected the ASAL regions, but it has been felt across the country, including in Busia County and in particular in Teso South where I come from. I want to confess that a number of families in Teso South sleep on a cup of porridge a day. They can hardly afford two kilogrammes of unga to provide a meal for their families. Whereas we know that the ASAL regions are the most hit by drought, I know there is a pocket in every county or sub- county experiencing the impact of the prolonged drought across the country. As we plead with the Government to intervene and provide relief food and support to the affected regions, I also plead that some of the food donations be sent to Busia County, Teso South and all those areas across the country where families are affected most by the prolonged drought."
