    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if the Member was keen, I mentioned that this county was not left out. It is being treated like all the other counties in the country. I know that it is part of the ASAL counties and that is why it is benefiting from relief food like all the other affected counties. In part “b” of the Question, the Member wanted to know what the Government is doing so that the current wave of drought does not consume more of our people than it has already done. I would like to mention that this is a global phenomenon and the Government is taking it very seriously. We have scaled up the amount of food allocated to all the counties. Only two weeks ago, the Cabinet approved a total of Kshs10.9 billion for drought intervention and that will equally benefit the county the Member is referring to. We also had a meeting with the G-20 only on Sunday last week. Since this is a global phenomenon, they had called for that meeting to address this problem across the globe. Many countries have pledged to assist the host countries like Kenya. These are Norway, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, among others. Their assistance will complement Government efforts."
