    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is a problem all over the country and the world as far as food prices are concerned. Those are the problems that we have to grapple with. But, after all has been said and done, it is the duty of the Government of Kenya to feed Kenyans when they are in dire need of food. I am appraising the situation and, with our partners who have been putting in 70 per cent, we are re-looking at a situation where we will be able to increase the amount food we are giving to most of the EMOP areas. Apart from the food we are giving out through EMOP, and I would like to thank the World Food Programme for providing 70 per cent of the food through the Emergency Operations Programme (EMOP), there is the general food distribution which is done by the Government through the District Commissioners' offices. Those are the people we work with at the grassroots level. Yes, there is a problem! But our Ministry is looking at ways and means of making sure that Kenyans are fed, so that they can be able to do some meaningful work economically. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not aware of anyone who has died because of the biting famine. We are actually even getting requests for food from areas which we normally do not cover. So, we are trying as much as possible to cover most of the areas."
