    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I will be brief. I want to join my colleagues in saying out loudly that the question of Kenyans today being left to starve and to be left without food is a serious issue. This cannot be gainsaid more than it has been said. It is imperative for the chairperson of the relevant committee to ensure that he does not only seek that clarification but goes further to ensure that the statement is not only satisfactory but also goes to detail on the questions raised. While seeking that clarification, it is important for us to say that the Government not only needs to be encouraged but asked to go ahead and come up with long lasting solutions to alleviate and deal with the question of hunger in those areas. You remember recently, we had the Galana-Kulalu Irrigation Project. This project which was intended to be of great help to these areas was largely politicized. Some politicians went out to bash the Government that this is a misplaced project. This is evidence that if there are areas where such projects are useful, it is in such areas. Therefore, I want to join my colleagues in urging that we should have more of such investments in these areas that are hit by drought."
