    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First, let me congratulate you for joining the Speaker’s Panel. I take this opportunity to thank the Committee led by Hon. Limo for the good work they have done. We all came to Parliament so that we can fast-track the business of the Government. At this point in time, the country is at crossroads. We have to take measures and what we are supposed to do as Members of Parliament we need to do it and do it fast. My attention has been drawn on the element of arid and semi-arid programmes that are contained in this supplementary budget. I come from a constituency, which even though it is in Meru, can be defined as an arid and semi-arid area because three quarters of my constituency borders Isiolo and Laikipia. We need water. It is a major challenge. As I am speaking to you, this morning there was a conflict. All the elephants and buffaloes have invaded the lower part of my constituency looking for water and grass. This is a challenge. We need to contain the situation. Our neighbours in Isiolo and Laikipia, because of lack of water, are invading our areas in search of water and food for animals. So, it is very important that this budget is passed as a matter of urgency. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
