• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: framework to at least satisfy development programmes by the National Drought Management Authority. Unless we regulate what the national Government and the county governments will be doing in terms of development and projects, we will be doing something that will negate the livelihoods of pastoralists and something contrary to the objective of what the National Drought Management Authority is struggling to achieve. It is good to come up with a framework that will satisfy development so as not to interfere with the resilience of pastoralists’ communities. Further on, there are provisions to at least develop contingency plans and early warning ... view
