    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes I am aware of the food shortage being experienced in Nyatike District following the drought that has hit most parts of the country. (b) My Ministry has a mechanism of determining the food security status in the districts. We receive monthly reports from the District Steering groups on the food situation with recommendations on the interventions required. In addition, the Ministry implements recommendations of the Kenya Food Security Steering Group which conducts national food security assessment twice every year or as need arises. (c) In the case of Nyatike, my Ministry has been giving relief food to the populations affected by drought. In the months of May, June and July, the district was allocated 900 bags of maize, 400 bags of beans and 100 cartons of vegetable oil, all valued at Kshs4,630,900. In addition, the district was provided with Kshs185,000 for transportation of food. The Ministry of Livestock purchased 370 head of cattle through the off-take programme at a cost of Kshs2, 250,000 between March and June this year. In addition, assorted livestock feeds valued at Kshs1.64 million were distributed in the district alongside 2,000 doses of drugs for treatment of livestock diseases valued at about Kshs151, 000. All this was disbursed to support the livestock programme logistics. Thank you."
