    "content": "drought. I think it is important that all of us follow through. We can make all the noise we want to make here; we can comment about it here, but we should also reach out to this administration. If the money is there, why can you not set out the regulations? Why do you not empower these people? When you go to this Authorities’ website, you will be surprised; you will get all the data you want. But they cannot respond, they cannot mitigate and they cannot educate people. In fact, sometimes when I want to know whether it is raining or how the drought was in Narok, I just go to their website. But for what; is it just for information purposes? So, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support this Motion and I urge this administration, as you promise us heaven, please make sure you put your money where your mouth is. If you say you are going to do this, do it. If you say we are going to make sure that we come up with efficient drought response mechanisms, please do it. This is because this generation will judge you wrongly if you pass legislation but you do not follow it up with the money. It is like saying that we are going to give you free education, but you leave the money behind. It is like saying that in this country, we will no longer have a time when a Kenyan will die because of hunger yet you do not follow through by ensuring that you have educated that person. We do not want beggars; Kenyans are very industrious people. If you bring in proper mitigation steps or even different types of grass seed that can sustain dry conditions, it will help us save our people. With that, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to support the motion. Thank you."
