"content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Between August 2005 and February, 2006, the following food quantities were given to Samburu District: Maize - 30,000 bags of 90 kilogrammes; beans - 3,150 bags of 50 kilogrammes; beans - 6,150 bags of 90 kilogrammes; vegetable oil - 9,960 cartons; milk powder - 2,500 cartons; rice - 600 bags of 50 kilogrammes. The district also benefited from the emergency operations that were spearheaded by the World Food Programme with the support of the Government. Over the period, the district received the following foodstuffs: Cereals - 1,521 metric tonnes; pulses - 142 metric tonnes; vegetable oil - 65 metric tonnes; corn soya beans - 1,888 metric tonnes. (b) The Oxfam and the Kenya Red Cross Society have not shown interest in the distribution of food relief in the district. That is why they were not considered for the task by the District Steering Group (DSG). The current lead agency, Ramati, is a reputable organisation which is well established in Samburu District. Its performance in food distribution has been commendable. Changing it in preference to Oxfam or the Kenya Red Cross Society will disrupt the IMO which is in progress. There has been no complaint against the agency to warrant the DSG to engage Oxfam or Kenya Red Cross to distribute relief food in the district."
