    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank Sen. Ndwiga for the effort he has made to give us answers on the locust invasion in our counties. Unfortunately, this is not being handled with the urgency it deserves. At what point will we deal with this issue as an emergency? I wonder what we will do if human beings are faced with the Corona Virus. I was told that the locusts were already in Turkana before they spread to other counties. However, when it was highlighted, nobody took action. It is good to take these measures but it will be a little bit too late because all the larvae in different places is going to hatch and we are going to have a vicious cycle if this is not done very well. This should be treated with the emergency that it deserves and we need to hear what emergency response actions that the Ministry is putting in place and if they are not able to do it themselves and need back-up, they should reach out. This is an emergency. Foot and mouth disease is also coming up and I have raised this issue. We have a disaster in waiting. We need action that is emergency-based and not what we are hearing here. Thank you."
