"content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a ) At the moment, my Ministry makes food allocation as per districts and not as per constituencies as alleged by the hon. Member. However, the food that was delivered to the District Commissioners (DCs) for free distribution in the Financial Year 2008/2009 for the larger Machakos District amounted to 17,500 bags of maize, 1,250 bags of beans, 700 cartons of vegetable oil; all valued at Kshs47,097,000. (b) Yes, the Ministry has considered the food situation in Machakos, but not at the constituency level. We have considered the larger Machakos District. The Ministry has included the larger Machakos District in the Emergency Operation Programme which is jointly run by the Government and the World Food Programme (WFP). The programme for Machakos is beginning this month and will run for an initial one year. The lead agency appointed to distribute food under that programme is the Kenya Red Cross Society, which is targeting a total of 105,756 people in Machakos District."
