    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the chance to also add my sentiments on this Bill. From the outset, I support it. It is long overdue and should have been passed a long time ago. Turkana County, where I come from, has suffered from hunger for so long even before Independence. Kenya having been independent for 54 years, you would hope that the governments that have been in place would have done something to stop such catastrophes happening in Turkana. Unfortunately, that did not happen. I hope that with the passage of this Bill changes will start taking place. I always say that it does not matter how many boards and responsibilities we create. What really matters is what we will do to solve the problem. As a trained scientist, I always want to know where the problem is and then look for a solution. So, if we know that Turkana suffers from hunger I would expect somebody to go out there and say: “Let us do something to stop hunger every year.” Unfortunately, that has not happened. I am glad that today, as we discuss this Bill, there will be a joint effort between the National Government and county governments. The good thing is that the governor of County No.23 has already stated that the next five years will be spent on looking for water for Turkana and trying to solve hunger problems.
