    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank all my colleagues who have contributed positively to this Motion. I also would like to thank the seconder who is now in the Chair, for providing the policy framework necessary for this Authority to be established. I want to thank the Minister, who is a proven professional in his own right for seeing the need for establishing this Authority and for being proactive in his Ministry. I am glad to hear that a lot of good work is going on. I hope that this critical Authority, which will serve very many Kenyans, will see the light of the day very soon. The assurance given by the Minister is very important because this problem of drought is affecting over 10 million Kenyans living in an area that is almost 80 per cent of Kenya’s landmass. It is very critical to mention that we are talking of 75 per cent of Kenya’s wealth; the livestock of this nation in arid and semi-arid areas of this nation. If we do not manage the drought, our wealth will go to waste. That is why it is so critical for this Authority to be established. I really do hope that when this Authority is established, it will be well financed and capacitated both in finances and human resource. It will be the only Authority of its kind in drought prone areas and I really do hope that the Minister will do what it takes to ensure that it is functioning."
