    "content": "Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I would like to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare regarding the issue of relief food and other disaster response at the county level, formerly carried out by the Offices of the District Commissioners. Currently, some parts of the country are going through hard times. Relief food supply has been of paramount importance in cushioning the very poor, orphans, elderly people and internally displaced persons against hunger in the past, but this has not been the case since last year. Cases of starvation are escalating in most parts of the country. Efforts to get feedback from the responsible offices have not borne fruit. The Special Programmes Office, which was charged with dispatching relief food supplies to needy areas say that money meant for relief food supplies has been sent to the county governments."
