    "content": "framework to at least satisfy development programmes by the National Drought Management Authority. Unless we regulate what the national Government and the county governments will be doing in terms of development and projects, we will be doing something that will negate the livelihoods of pastoralists and something contrary to the objective of what the National Drought Management Authority is struggling to achieve. It is good to come up with a framework that will satisfy development so as not to interfere with the resilience of pastoralists’ communities. Further on, there are provisions to at least develop contingency plans and early warning systems. We have had early warning systems which were being managed by the former Arid Lands Resource Management Project, which may not have been credible. I believe they were not relevant because they did not reflect what was on the ground. I think we should learn from that and come up with a better way of collecting data qualitatively and quantitatively, so that we will be having a data bank to manage drought issues. Further, the National Drought Management Authority should have the powers to at least determine the capacity of our rangelands, if we are to manage our rangelands and drought. This should be in liaison with the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries. The Authority should be given powers to update the livestock census."
