    "content": "I have been in this House long enough to know when we started thinking about formulating the new Constitution. Some of the thematic areas that we wanted to look at were provision of food. I remember in 2008 when maize was imported from South Africa, we knew who had imported it. We also knew the condition under which it came. We realised that we might not have a solution to the provision of food until we devolved the function. In the Constitution, the first role of the county government is agriculture. Agriculture is meant to focus on provision of food. It is unfortunate that after the Meteorological Department predicted that we were going to have drought, that were going to have a hot spell and this period will be longer than it has always been, our brothers and sisters who are in charge of counties did not act the way they should have. The role of the national Government in this is disaster management. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
