"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, aware that Northern Kenya and other Arid Lands face perennial drought that is cyclic in nature; mindful that this occasions severe negative economic, social and environmental effects; noting that currently, responses to drought are reactive due to lack of proactive measures; concerned that the country lacks legal framework designed to mitigate these problems, this House urges the Government to establish a Drought Management Authority responsible for drought preparedness and response. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, drought is one of the most serious problems facing this nation. Drought affects about 10 million Kenyans, who are food insecure. Drought destroys the economy of a nation and sets back years of development efforts. Structural and institutional marginalization and drought related-disasters are major causes and contributors to poverty in northern Kenya â an area that is drought-prone."
