    "content": "and the proposed irrigation at Galana. This will help us to distribute this equally and fairly across the country and people can begin to mitigate factors of drought. When drought hits, it destroys crops and there has to be a mechanism of how to compensate those farmers. It kills animals and most farmers in the areas where they keep cattle, they are millionaires but when drought strikes, they cannot sell all their animals at once. Drought kills them one by one and eventually they are left very poor. There has to be a way of taking care of the loss which has occurred and I think the Authority needs to come in, take stock, have data and we can know which farmers have been affected by drought and what compensation they can get. So, we support the Bill. It is a great Bill and it will move a great way to help many poor people in Kenya especially from the dry areas so that when disaster strikes, they can take care of that. Also, when there is plenty of harvest, they can know how to manage it. I do thank you for giving me this opportunity. I support the Bill."
