    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I support this Motion by Sen. Wetangula. I support it because it is a sorry state in our country. Seeing people die because of basic needs is an embarrassment to the leadership of this country. Madam Temporary Speaker, Sen. Wetangula categorically said that Turkana and Baringo counties are the most affected, but I want to believe that we have even more counties which are affected due to this starvation. I have done a research and have realized that more than 3.4 million Kenyans are suffering due to lack of food. The problem of food has extended beyond the borders of Turkana and Baringo. We have 19 counties at the moment, which are grappling with the problem of food insecurity. For example, in Kajiado County we have 130 households and more than 600,000 cattle which are at a risk of starvation. Madam Temporary Speaker, it feels very bad that in Tiaty in Baringo you find women walking long distances to look for wild berries called Sorich, just to get a meal. Those wild berries are poisonous. Once you get the Sorich, you cannot consume them directly. You have to boil them along the river banks for the whole day."
