    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I also rise to support the National Drought Management Authority Bill, 2013 brought to the Floor of the House by hon. Ganya and thank him for a good job well done. I rise to say that in Makueni Constituency and the lower eastern, most parts are now hit by drought and people are making appeals to the Government to supply foodstuff. There were rains but then plants dried up midway because drought comes in as a disaster. It comes without warning and, therefore, this Authority being created by this Bill is going to coordinate between the Government agencies so that it can take data and stock knowing that most parts of Kenya are likely to be hit by drought in one way or the other. Therefore, it can coordinate even the irrigation taking place in the country so that it can be fairly distributed. We know where we have rivers and a constant flow of water just like the case of Galana and Makueni where now there is a proposed Thwake Athi Dam The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
