I rise to support this Bill, which I think is long overdue. No single entity on its own can provide interventions to drought victims, be it the Government or other non-state actors. Indeed, the National Drought Management Authority is well placed to carry out the necessary resource mobilisation to save lives and livelihoods of the pastoral population."}
