    "content": "I am also happy the amendment Bill seeks to create a fund that will enable the National Drought Management Authority to have money to respond to emergencies that may arise in the country. Even as I celebrate that a fund is provided for, I will be proposing an amendment later on to guide how such monies will be spent. Even if you have money to spend, you need to have a threshold of the kind of emergency that will trigger the funds to be withdrawn. I would like to have scenario where if money is budgeted for in a particular financial year but there is no emergency that warrants expenditure of the money, it should be carried forward to the next financial year because it is not known when an emergency will occur. In war, we say that there is no point of spending a bullet on an enemy when you can use a blow, kick or a bayonet. So, the appropriation of these funds must be guided by certain procedures and a law that will categorise emergencies."
