    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that Kajiado is one of the 24 arid and semi-arid districts, adversely affected by the prolonged drought. (b) In Kajiado District, the effect of the drought was not uniform. The estimated loss weighed from 5 per cent in the better areas to 40 per cent in the worst affected areas. The actual numbers can only be ascertained when a rapid assessment exercise being undertaken by my Ministry is finalised. (c) The Government recognises the plight of pastoralists in Kajiado and other districts who have lost their livestock as a result of the prolonged drought, and appreciates that there is need for re-stocking to ensure that their source of livelihood is restored. After the rains, a needs-assessment exercise will be conducted to identify the worst affected households and establish how best they can be assisted. Re-stocking will be an option to be considered, depending on availability of resources."
