    "content": "He also talked about drought mitigation. The problems we have, especially in Northern Kenya, are two. First, is God-made and the other man-made. The Man-made is corruption. The food from national Government and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) that is supposed to go to the poor people is being stolen to the tune of 70 to 80 per cent. If we look at God-made calamities and leave out corruption, we would be making it a very huge mistake. As a House, we need to put legislation in place so that instead of giving people food we use cash transfer system which is being used by many NGOs today in Northern Kenya. That way we will not have problems of transportation and food being stolen. From the start, the business man steals, the driver, the turnboy, the storage facility and then the chiefs and their communities. If we prioritise cash transfers, I think we will reduce corruption in those area."
