    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. Pursuant to Standing Order No. 44(2)(c) I wish to request a Statement from the Chairperson, Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade regarding the instances of food insufficiency in various parts of the country. Some areas in the country are facing starvation and lack food, especially due to inadequate rains. As such, there is need to ensure that the citizens in these areas are provided for because there is risk of losing life. In his Statement, the Chairperson should inquire into and report on; how many districts countrywide are susceptible to food insufficiency, the mechanisms the Government has put in place to ensure adequate availability of food, including transport and other logistics and the arrangements required to get the required supplies to the affected people. He should also say whether the affected public has been informed of this issue to prepare adequately. Are there any plans in place to ensure that surplus food from other districts is taken to other areas to avoid importing food which is more expensive?"
