    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to thank the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government for this Statement on preparedness for the looming LaNina phenomena. I would, however, like to ask for a few clarifications. One, the Deputy Prime Minister indicated that the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC) was unable to take all the stock that had been delivered. Has he considered in their state of preparedness that an abattoir can be built in Lokichoggio? This only requires Kshs50 million to be operational. Secondly, he mentioned about livestock off-take by the Ministry of Livestock Development, is he aware that the programme flopped? I think the work of the office of the Prime Minister is to direct, as the supervisor and coordinator of Ministry affairs, rather than asking them to work with pastoralists. Could he ensure that the directives are implemented? Mr. Speaker, Sir, finally, it seems the World Food Programme (WFP) has an upper hand and disregards all the organs of decision making starting at the District Steering Group (DSG), the Kenya Food Security Group meeting in Nairobi where the Government is involved and they go ahead to choose their own lead agencies irrespective of the outcomes of those organs. Is the Deputy Prime Minister satisfied that that procedure is the right way to be prepared for handling famine?"
