    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this chance. I rise pursuant to Standing Order 48(1) to seek a statement from the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, concerning locust invasion in Turkana County. In the statement, the Committee should- (1) State the measures the Government has taken to deal with the current locust invasion in Turkana County. (2) State the early warning mechanism put in place to prepare residents for future locust invasions in good time and to mitigate against the effects of such invasions. (3) Explain whether the Government will provide food to the people of Turkana County, whose crops and pasture have been destroyed by the locusts. Madam Temporary Speaker, I have reported this to the Turkana County Government and the Government of Kenya. It took a long time before they eventually availed a plane that was supposed to spray the areas to kill the locusts. Unfortunately, whoever is piloting that plane does not know what they are doing, because they are just criss-crossing aimlessly, when they should be following the rivers, plains and killing all 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."
