    "content": "I know that we were also warned about the El Nino . It is good that what we are having is the short rains. We have not seen the serious effects of it. The Government prepared enough, but the skies are also not opening up much. That is good news for us because in my Trans-Nzoia County, many of the farmers are facing difficulties; this is a harvesting season. We are harvesting our maize. We lost a lot of crops in one of my wards. A half of the ward was not able to harvest any crop because of crop failure and drought this year. I have been able to talk to the Ministry of Planning and Devolution, special programmes and our county government, so that they can both look at making sure that Kenyans living within the area do not starve to death; they did not harvest any crop. So, if we are going to have El Nino, it will spoil and destroy many of our crops, which we are harvesting at this time. I am hoping that farmers will take advantage of the rains not pounding so much to harvest and store our crops within the various places, so that at the end of the day, we have a good harvest."
