    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to thank Hon. Keter for bringing up this Adjournment Motion. As Kenyans, we should realise that we are facing a very serious humanitarian crisis occasioned by the heavy rains we have received across the country. I want to draw attention of the Members to a Press release by the Kenya Meteorological Department (KMD) in form of a seasonal forecast which I feel was very misleading. The Press release was done on 19th February. It painted a seasonal forecast of depressed rainfall. What we have received is contrary to what they forecasted. Probably, this came about as a result of use of obsolete equipment in which case the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources needs to consider proper funding for that institution. Of course, they corrected that when they gave us updates of rain forecasts in March, April and so on and so forth. As we speak, the office for coordination of humanitarian assistance of the United Nations, stated that 211,000 Kenyans are displaced while 72 are reported dead. I am sure there are many deaths which are not reported, especially from Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs) where the media has no access. Out of these, it is only 10,000 Kenyans who have been reached The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
