    "content": "Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker. Do we really give a hoot in hell in this country? No, we do not. We do not care and nature also does not care because every year, we are here talking about the drought and floods. It is about time that this Senate, when we are experiencing these big challenges, tried to make a step ahead. Madam Temporary Speaker, every year, the Government is unprepared to deal with issues of drought. It shocks me, because just in January this year, the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) alerted the nation, that there are 23 counties which are facing drought. At the same time, they asked the Government to set aside Kshs34 billion to be able to deal with this crisis. I have heard my colleague talking a lot about the issue of the equalization fund. That fund is clearly spelt out on what it can be used for, not food. So, when we say that we should carry out a supplementary budget to be able to move money from development into the issues of food scarcity; that is really just a knee-jerk reaction. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
