"content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Motion but with some reservations. I will start with the good part. It is true that we need to pass the Supplementary Estimates so that the people we represent can get services. I am happy to note that there is Kshs5 billion being reallocated for drought but it is sad that even after this House, on a Motion of Adjournment, called on the Government to speed up its intervention in drought stricken areas, the Government has dilly-dallied until livestock and human beings have died because of this situation. The intervention is coming a little bit too late and the interventions that are there are not well organized. Livestock farmers should have been relieved of their agony by their livestock being purchased at the point where they had not withered and started dying. We should not have lost people because the Government already knew and forecast, through the Prime Ministerâs Statement, that there would be drought and, therefore, they should have been well prepared. It is my hope that the Kshs5 billion will be put to good use. There will be a better and organized intervention to alleviate the suffering and ensure that we do not lose more human beings or livestock during this period."
