    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I was looking at the television, and I saw the residents of West Pokot and what they went through. The roads in that area were destroyed, and the people could not cross over to the other side. It was a sad state of affairs. There are affected families that are hurting. I want to commend well-wishers who come in when there were floods, because when they take food to the victims, they are helping them. There is need for us to look for a sustainable way of helping, because you cannot take food every day and floods will forever be there. There is need for a conversation to ensure that we come up with a sustainable way of ensuring that even when there is climate change, there is a way in which our people will not suffer from hunger or fail to get water. These are basic necessities. In the Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, if you do not have food, shelter or clothing, then you cannot go to the next level of the hierarchy because you lack the basic needs. Every human being on earth must have food, clothing and shelter. This means that if floods interfere with these basic needs, it is an issue that we must interrogate, as a Government, and ensure that we are doing something to support those Kenyans. This will ensure that there is service delivery, even to those who are out of reach or the vulnerable in this country."
