Mr. Speaker, Sir, with regard to what the hon. Member is talking about, I am not in custody of the said Report by the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. If there are, indeed, Kenyans in that particular place or anywhere else who need our attention, we shall definitely provide the food that is required. With regard to this case, we could liaise with the area Member of Parliament to tell us where they are exactly. We will also liaise with the DC---

Mr. Speaker, Sir, before I was interrupted by the hon. Member for Rongai, I was about to say that if the hon. Member can, indeed, liaise with the security team on the ground and the DC, we will be able to know what we do not know now and we shall definitely do what is required; give them food.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate what hon. Affey has said. It is the same thing I said that we shall liaise with the area Member of Parliament.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the hon. Member. Indeed, it is a genuine concern and it is true that the Government has taken long to develop a policy. However, I want to assure the hon.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am afraid that delivery of food to affected Kenyans is not pegged on the tour of the Prime Minister to any given area. He may have had an opportunity to distribute food which was already in the district. In the process of his assessment of the drought situation, he may have wanted to take part in the ongoing process.
