"content": "Governors are given sufficient resources to know that such disasters are looming. They are given adequate mandate and responsibility to sound that alarm. In my view, we are yet to hear any alarm from the Governor of Turkana or from the Governor of Baringo. We are also yet to hear from the representatives of the National Government, that is the County Commissioners of these counties raising alarm that people are on the verge of death in Turkana. In fact, the alarm that we are getting is from social media. We are supposed to, if we were to be magnanimous, to reward those who raised these issues in the social media. The people we have given money and responsibility to deal with these issues have neglected their people, and we as a Senate are now discussing this matter. It is my humble suggestion that these people should be investigated immediately and, in my view, there is sufficient evidence because deaths have occurred; that they should be apprehended and dealt with. Madam Temporary Speaker, in conclusion, there is an interesting book, that all of us should read. It is called So Many Hungers . It is indicated in that book that the worst hunger that people should feel the pangs for, is the hunger for food. These people have so many hungers but the hunger for food is the most painful hunger because it attacks our basic instincts."
