    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I would like to second this Motion where the Senate is calling upon the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government – which I think should be the Ministry of Devolution and Planning, where the National Drought Management Authority (NDMA) falls – so that the Act is expeditiously implemented. The Motion also aims to come up with effective drought response strategies aimed at saving both lives of people and the animals. I would like to draw the attention of the House that this Motion covers a very big part of this country; the Arid and Semi-arid Lands (ASAL) areas. The ASAL areas cover about 89 per cent of the land mass in Kenya. By the census of 2009, about 14 million Kenyans live in that area. Currently ASAL areas cover about 23 counties; of which nine are arid counties and 14 are semi-arid counties. The nine arid counties are mainly Northern Kenya from Turkana all the way to Tana River. Then we have the semi-arid ones from Kajiado, Narok coming down to the lower eastern, all the way to Nyeri, Meru, The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
