    "content": "I want him to order the military, their facilities and doctors to go and save Kenyans wherever they are. Part of the problems of Turkana is borne out of insecurity. The tiff between the Pokots and the Turkanas, the Turkanas and the people in Baringo, the Pokots and the people in Baringo and Samburu is also destabilising the issue of food security. We want to urge the Government to deploy sufficient security. You can imagine people who are running away from marauding bandits without food and water for a week. They will be left with no option other than to sit there and wait for the bandits to come and kill them and take away their possessions. We must rise to the occasion as a country. Thirdly, we want to urge the Government to do everything humanly possible to avoid the habit of running to donors to beg. We can feed ourselves. We do not need donors to feed the Turkanas when we are told of money being stolen on every mega project. If that money was put to good use, we would be having a different ball game. Look at the Galana Kulalu irrigation project which was said to be a revolution in food production in this country. Kshs7.5 billion was put in the first year and it yielded a harvest of 18 bags of maize. How can you spend Kshs7.5 billion to harvest 18 bags of maize? It is a terrible shame! I want this House, as the defenders of counties, the county governments, the county interests and the people therein, to stand up together and be counted.
