    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to support this Motion. In supporting this Motion, I want to say in the strongest terms possible that we, as Members of Parliament from drought affected areas, cannot be reduced to Members who just lament about the food situation. We run from insecurity. We suffer drought and famine year in, year out and what we do is to lament. I want to accuse the Government. This Government needs to be sent packing. They need to go home. First and foremost, it is the responsibility of a Government to feed its citizens. The failure of food production in this country by farmers or pastoralists cannot be blamed for this situation. It is inability by the policies of the Government to put in place a framework that will ensure a continuous supply of food. It is really sad that the Ministers have left here. These Ministers go to the National and Cereals and Produce Boards (NCPB) stores to look at the maize and say there is no disaster. Wanapeleka gorogoro ya mahindi and then they say they are feeding Kenyans."
