    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue of relief food depends on where you come and where I come from. Over 87 per cent of the residents still rely on relief food. Is it a situation that we are ever proud of? If you look at the current Budget Estimates, over Kshs16 billion has been voted for the purchase of relief food. Why is that money not being used for irrigation? Why is that money not being used for construction of big dams? It is simply because, through relief food, agents of impunity get the opportunity to trade. That is why they do not want to invest in important economic projects that will have assisted those people. Therefore, their desire is that we continue to depend on relief food. That has been the culture."
