    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have heard the Assistant Minister, Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security say that the job of a chief is to coordinate and, that, it is the Ministry of State for Special Programmes that gives food. I have a letter, from the District Commissioner that clearly states that the job of a chief is to inform the Government of a death. When he did it, he was punished. Two, the letter says: “It is your responsibility to ensure that there are sufficient food distribution points in those areas so that people can access food more easily.” The Assistant Minister is contradicting the same letter that was issued to the chief. Under those circumstances, we are talking about the Chief of Kalapata Location, Mr. Phillip Epimilim, the chief of Katulo Location, Mr. Henry Ekitela and the Assistant Chief of Kalemweluku Location. In all these letters, obviously, what the chiefs are being accused of is inconsistent with what the Assistant Minister has told us. Under those circumstances, may I ask him to lift these letters because they are completely unnecessary, uncalled for and they are meant to harass the chiefs not to tell the Kenyan public about the dire situation of the starving people of Turkana County."
