    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I hereby stand to support the Bill before this House. The Bill deals with drought in our country. The previous Act, which was enacted a long time ago, was meant to cover the areas which were mainly hit by drought at various times because of lack of rainfall. By the time the areas were mapped out, the climate in Kenya was so much better in some areas in a way that there used to be plenty now and then, and there was no need for funds to be used in those areas because the population used to have plenty to spend and spare and also to donate to areas which used to be hit by drought. However, as we speak, things have changed to an extent that even those areas which used to enjoy a lot of rainfall, and which used to be green throughout the year, have also become drought-stricken. In my constituency, we never used to enjoy the privilege of being assisted because of lack of food and other things that are related to drought. Nowadays things have changed so much that almost every part of Kenya which used to enjoy a lot of rainfall, or which used to have plenty to eat and spare, is reeling under the vagaries of weather. That is why it is so much necessary to establish a fund to be used for emergency operations when drought strikes, as it does now.
