    "content": "Our children especially those from pastoralist areas are suffering. Animals are dead and the drought is hitting them. Children are not going to school. They are dying of malnutrition together with grown-ups. Surely, what are we doing about them? c Certain Members stood here and talked about drought intervention. Which drought intervention? My county was given 600 bags of rice and 60 bags of maize to each sub county. Surely, that is one meal a day, which is not enough for everybody. As my colleagues have said, and I will repeat it here, pastoralists communities in this country are treated as second class citizens. Why can the Kenya Kwanza Government not allocate Kshs3.55 billion, the way they allocated it to fertilizer purchase to pass through counties in order to sink boreholes? People are dying of hunger and lack of water. We have forgotten about dams in this country, but are very happy that fertilizer is there. We wonder when that fertilizer was procured. That is the question we need to ask ourselves. Children are not going to school because of drought and nobody is talking about it. We are very proud that as Kenya Kwanza, we are leading the Government and will do marvelous. Yes, you might do so, but what are you doing for the pastoralist communities who are suffering and nobody is doing anything about it? I have just been sent a message by someone who says people are dropping dead---"
