    "content": "Hon. Speaker, on 23rd November 2019, a landslide disaster occurred in West Pokot County which resulted in loss of lives of over 60 persons and many are yet to be found. It is unfortunate that there is a lot of suffering and some affected and injured persons are undergoing treatment in various hospitals. Further, it has led to displacement of families where a number of over 500 households are homeless after their houses were buried or swept away by floods. The communities have lost all their properties that include food in stores and granaries, livestock and their valuable land. Hon. Speaker, the affected families are now camping in schools, churches and other facilities far from their villages where houses were submerged. They are in dire need for Government to take urgent measures and intervene to ensure that the affected areas in Sigor and Pokot South constituencies and other parts of the country are made passable by the construction of roads, bridges and other ways that will assist them to be reached. They are in dire need of food, shelter, medical supplies and clothing. Currently, the schools and other social services such as hospitals have been adversely affected."
