    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. In supporting this Motion I want to say that I sit in the Budget Committee. It is the Budget Committee which came up with far wide-ranging recommendations which meant mutilating deep into the estimates that had already been published. For you to reconstruct that, obviously there must be something. The second reason is that as an agriculturalist, I do understand that you require time to produce food. We do not have food in the Republic of Kenya. Anytime we are buying here, it works against us and we may end up importing. Even that importation will require time. So, for the sake of your stomachs, for the sake of people who have voted you here and will be requiring a lot of relief food and other facilities, we need to have the Government and Executive move into action immediately. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not believe that any one of you, including the Chair can avoid and ignore the fact that because of this bad weather, we are going to have a major outbreak of diseases. If they come, how would the Executive deal with these issues if they do not have money? How are they going to continue serving these Kenyans? One time I watched the Cable News Network (CNN) and Mr. Bush, the President of the United State of America (USA) was there. From his executive position, he was able to move that they vote US$38 billion against all requirements by Congress. We should also be able to stand on some of these odd situations and accept that we are faced with a situation; we are making progress and, therefore, I support."
