Charles Nguna","speaker":null,"content":" Thank you, Hon. Chairlady. Based on the prevailing weather conditions in most of the Arid and Semi-Arid Land (ASAL) areas, I think this money is so little. We need to take note of that so that maybe, in future, we can add more money to this Vote through a supplementary budget. The State Department for Special Programmes has been under-funded completely. An allocation of Ksh609 million is too little to meet the expectations of marginalised areas. Thank you, Hon. Chairlady."}
