    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, let me commend the Right hon. Prime Minister for the starling role he has played as a champion in the protection of the environment. That is something that this House really needs to acknowledge. However, the Prime Minister is, of course, aware that there are non-State agencies--- In this regard, I want to particularly commend the role played by the Kenya Red Cross, led by gallant sons of this land like Mr. Abbas Gullet. These agencies are always out there lending a hand; whether you are talking about flooding, mudslides or drought, you will always meet these agencies out there. You get a feeling that these agencies are always struggling for resources. The other day the corporate world had to come to the aid of the Kenya Red Cross through the famous “Kenyans for Kenya” arrangement to raise resources. We also know that Government agencies like the Ministry of State for Special Programmes do control considerable resources, about some of which there are serious doubts as to how efficiently those resources are applied whenever we have these kinds of challenges. This is where I wish to invite the Prime Minister to clarify. Has the Government considered setting aside resources to be channeled specifically through agencies like the Kenya Red Cross that would enable these agencies to provide their excellent services in a better way and in close partnership, of course, with the Government?"
