    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) It is not true that the Emergency Operation Program (EMOP) or what we call now the Protracted Relief and Recovery Operation (PRRO), which commenced in May, 2009, allocated the larger Turkana lower relief beneficiaries as a result of the supposed erroneous population figures. To the contrary, the figure of the people who are being assisted with relief food was increased from 248,246 to 283,899 out of a population of 454,100. That figure includes 30,143 benefitting from the Food for Work Program, which translates into 63 per cent of the entire Turkana population which is being assisted with relief food. In addition to the EMOP program, the Government has been supporting the residents of the larger Turkana with relief food. The Government has distributed 17,676 metric tons of assorted foodstuffs worth Kshs504,321,000 to the larger Turkana District to date. That has been tabulated. I beg to lay the document on the Table."
