    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As the Prime Cabinet Secretary said, we experienced the worst drought in almost 40 years and the lowest harvest of maize in the last 10 years. As much as we appreciate what he has said that non- traditional ASAL counties like Kiambu County have benefitted from relief food during this drought period, I would like to hear from him what the Government is doing. Other than the non-traditional ASAL counties, there are urban areas like Nairobi and other major urban centres where slum dwellers are not able to access food. What measures is the Government taking to ensure that relief food reaches people in slum areas? On an unrelated matter, the Prime Cabinet Secretary could also apprise the nation on what the Government is doing to check the proliferation of gangs. This question may have more to do with the Ministry of Interior and National Administration, but this afternoon we have witnessed the former President leading a gang of goons to take over an office. In the region where I come from, Mungiki has been a huge menace. When we see Mungiki rising again, we get concerned. When we see elements associated with Mungiki being led by a former President, it becomes a matter of national concern. I beg your indulgence that the Prime Cabinet Secretary takes this occasion to address that particular issue."
