Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c) I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Co-operatives regarding drought management in the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs). The ASAL areas are drought prone mainly because of their peculiar climatic conditions. However, the Government response seems inadequate every time there is a serious drought. There has been very little rain in the ASAL areas in the last three years as demonstrated by the ongoing severe shortage of water in the region. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information ... view
• 5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: The Meteorological Department has already predicted a shortfall in projected short rains and issued a warning that most parts of the country will experience failed harvest and even livestock deaths. In the Statement, the Chairperson should inquire into and report on: One, the Government preparedness to deal with the impending drought in the ASAL areas and the humanitarian crisis that may follow. view

• 30 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Water scarcity is a world problem. There are about 3.3 billion people in the planet who have water problems. Specifically, in our country, it is not that we do not have ways of executing water policies, but it is because we do not have sufficient infrastructure to enable us harness and preserve water.

Deputy Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Health regarding the rampant cases of cancer related to petroleum drilling in the northern parts of Kenya, especially in Marsabit and Wajir counties.
