    "content": "devolved sectors like water, agriculture, livestock, health and nutrition. In order to enhance local communities coping capacities to prepare and respond to drought, both levels of government are working by adopting the following strategies:- (1) Ensuring drought risk management strategies are prioritized both in medium to long term strategies through the County Integrated Development Plans (CIDP) as stipulated by the framework. (2) Promote the livelihoods diversification programmes targeting the vulnerable groups like women, youth and other segments of the society. (3) Engage stakeholders across the neighbouring counties in strategies to reduce resource use conflicts. (4) Promote youth development programmes to minimize the illicit activities among the youth. The last question as I finish was; why the Government has not paid livestock owners for slaughter off-takes by Kenya Meat Commission (KMC). In 2017, the KMC and the NDMA carried out emergency off-take of livestock. While NDMA paid the beneficiaries directly, KMC purchased animals from beneficiaries through traders that were to be paid after service delivery. However, KMC has not yet paid the traders due to limited funds. The KMC moved fast to avert death of livestock with anticipation that the national Treasury will avail more funds for emergency off-take programmes. The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation has requested the national Treasury to provide funding to pay off the traders in Isiolo and Wajir counties, but that is yet to be done."
