• 8 Aug 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.52(1) to make a Statement on a matter of international and general topical concern, namely the release of Turkana pastoralists arrested and jailed in Uganda. Pastoralists in Turkana County have been facing recurring droughts that severely impact on the availability of pasture and water for their livestock.

I know that food leaves Nairobi to sub-counties. However, when it reaches there, it takes more than three months to reach to those rural areas. When you ask the County Commissioner why this is the case, he tells you that he has not been facilitated. The Kshs200,000 used to transport food to ASAL, as mentioned by the Cabinet Secretary, is not enough. Transporting food from here to Kapenguria or Lodwar is more than Kshs200,000.
