    "content": "This country needs to seriously plan. We are instead politicking a lot; 24/7, we are politicking, we are talking about changing the Constitution, who becomes the President – Kenyans must live first before we do anything else. Kenyans must live. We must allow Kenyans to live and as leaders, work for Kenyans. It is very shameful when the world sees a country like Kenya, which is aspiring to be a middle-income country with about 10 per cent growth, talking about people dying of hunger. It is very serious. I do not know what you tell the rest of the world. It is becoming almost a habit of Kenyans during drought, where some die of hunger; floods or from national catastrophes. It is time we, as leaders of this country, came up with solutions to this disaster. Unless there are serious plans to mitigate floods, droughts and deal with national disasters, the budget of this country will go to the drain. Whatever we are talking about, call them anything, call then Agenda Four, we are now very busy talking about the health issue and nobody is talking about the food issue. You cannot be healthy when you do not have food. It is very serious and it is important that we discuss this. This is a disaster and all efforts of the country should be focused towards that end so that Kenyans are saved. Once we sail out of this drought, come the next season, let us plan how to make sure that the same is not repeated any other time. With those many remarks, I beg to support."
