"content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity. From the outset I want to say that I support this Motion not because I am a Minister but because I know what it means when the Government is not able to function as it is supposed to. Some speakers here mentioned the devastation caused by the rains in this country. But I want to mention right now here that just this morning I received a telephone call from my District Water Officer (DWO) to tell me how serious drought is in my own constituency of Ijara. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, because of lack of water our livestock have now moved to the coast. Unfortunately, we are already in conflict with the people at the coast because game officers are being used to ask our people to go back to where there is no grass or water. I agree with the Minister of State for Special Programmes that she needs money for the vulnerable people in our country. I very strongly support the Motion."
