    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand here to support Vote 35 â Ministry of State for Special Programmes. I also want to thank and commend the able Minister, the Assistant Minister, the Permanent Secretary and the technical staff in that Ministry. This Ministry is one of the most important Ministries, as we face the daunting task of food insecurity in this country. I come from a region that has faced, in the last eight months, a crucial moment in the livelihood of the people of north eastern, upper eastern regions and also the 57 affected districts in this country. Food comes first. Unless, as a country, we are secure in terms of food, then all the other sectors, like education, health, infrastructure, livestock and agriculture become very secondary. I want to urge the Minister for Finance, at least for now, to avail more resources to the Ministry of State for Special Programmes in as far as making sure that more Kenyans across the board, in terms of gender and school going children, are fed and fed well. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, my only issue with this comes as a result of a number of previous historical factors. Yes, we want to feed our people. We want the core mandate for the Ministry of State Special Programmes to be distribution of relief food. But for how long will the people of this country survive on relief food. How sustainable is it in terms of taking care of the livelihood of Kenyans. We must find a definite measure. We must create a deliberate attempt to give the people of this country, and more so to the vulnerable sections of the society a more sustainable livelihood other than the relief. We do not want our people to sit down and wait for a truck that is carrying maize, oil and rice. We want our people to be engaged more in more livelihood programmes. Under this Ministry, we have the National Aids Control Council (NACC) which for many years, has been on the forefront with major programmes in fighting HIV/AIDS. I want to challenge the Ministry of State for Special Programmes that the 1 per cent prevalence rate in North Eastern Province is in my constituency, Dujis and Garissa/ We must have a deliberate attempt to address that 1 per cent in North Eastern Province. We must have a religious methodology. How do you address or put measures in place for curbing and fighting HIV/AIDS among the Muslim community and pastoral communities. We must have strategies and implementation tools that are more sustainable and more acceptable by the pastoral communities and the Muslim community. In conclusion, this is the Ministry that is concerned with the national crises that we are facing including food shortage, drought and famine. This Ministry comes first,"
