    "content": "I support the Report of the Mediation Committee because as much as we have devolved units, this has to do with all the 47 counties. However, because of climate change, some counties, which were previously not prone to drought, have cases of drought today. I agree with the mediated version of the Bill. It is critical because we already have areas like Mandera, Turkana and Marsabit. If you do a trend analysis, you will find that year in, year out those counties are hit by drought. Therefore, it is, indeed, important for those counties to have drought management offices. However, it does not add value to establish such offices in counties like Kiambu, Kericho and Bomet because those areas are not yet classified as drought regions. We appreciate that with the emerging trends as a result of climate change, we can establish an office on a need basis. So, this is not something we should waste a lot of time on. We should understand the logic behind it."
