    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in June, 2016, the drought early warning system started to signal emerging stress in parts of the coast and south-east, largely because of the below average performance of the 2016 long rains. Counties most at risk were those like Kilifi, where the 2015 short rains had also been poor. In the following months, conditions deteriorated in places such as Garissa, Kwale, Taita-Taveta, Lamu and Tana River. The current classification of counties according to their drought phase is as follows, summarised in Table 1:- (1) Alarm drought phase: Garissa, Kilifi, Kwale, Lamu and Marsabit. (2) Alert drought phase: Kajiado, Isiolo, Laikipia, Makueni, Mandera, Meru North, Narok, Samburu, Taita-Taveta, Tana River, Turkana, Wajir and West Pokot. (3) Normal drought phase: Baringo, Embu (Mbeere), Kitui, Nyeri (Kieni) and Tharaka-Nithi. The trend is worsening in all areas and if the onset of the rains delays, the drought phases in each county can easily change to the next level. In areas of higher rainfall, the food security situation is generally stable except in pockets of Nyanza. The table below shows the counties and drought phases they are in."
