    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I have listened to the response by the Ministry, but the responses are inadequate and not satisfactory. Year-in, year-out, billions of shillings have been allocated for ASAL areas, especially for food security. However, every second year when we experience drought, we lose millions of livestock. People also die. The interventions that have been planned are not reflecting on the ground as supporting communities to transition from doses of relief food to food security. I strongly feel that the amount of resources allocated is not translated on the ground. It is not meeting the needs of the people in ASAL regions. I request that the Ministry gives us concrete plans and strategies, with timelines, on when pastoralist communities in the ASAL areas will be made to stand on their own and produce their food. The ASALs possess immense land and water that can feed this country. Instead of always giving us food, the Government needs to invest in infrastructure and food security so that pastoralist communities can produce their own food."
