    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am ready to give the Statement, but as I told you, it is long. I will try to shorten it and then I will get a clarification in case of anything. After what transpired yesterday, this is the work that has been done overnight. However, I will read the major issues. The Kenya Meteorological Department issued an alert stating parts of the country which will receive enhanced rainfall during the short rains season of October to December leading to El Nino. As a result, in view of the above, the Government moved with speed to put in place measures that will address the impact of the El Nino rains in various sectors of the economy. It was clear that the rains will impact positively in some areas and negatively in others. Adequate preparation was initiated so that the country could avoid the negative impacts which may be caused by heavy rains. As a result, a Cabinet sub-Committee chaired by the Deputy President was formed to deal with El Nino disaster preparedness and response. The Government then put in place a multi-sectoral task force under the Presidency which brought together a technical team from the various Ministries to address the various intervention measures required to address the issues exhaustively. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
