    "content": "Water is an issue in Wajir given that pastoral communities depend on livestock as the main economic activity. Using the network that I will establish, I will make sure I provide them with a ready market for animals and their products to Arabs and external markets. I will make my agenda very clear on the Floor of this House that there is drought. Currently, we are bedevilled by issues of presidential elections. One thing that has come out very clearly is that the political elites are oblivious of the current prevailing drought in the country. People have lost their livelihoods. There are many water projects that need to be done. The Government should apportion funds for people to alleviate our current problems. As we continue to struggle along the lines to make sure there are credible elections in Kenya, particularly the presidential elections, let us not be oblivious to the plight of people of northern Kenya who are affected by drought."
