Let me first of all say that the Government of Kenya, within the context of Vision 2030, has already indicated a foresight on the need to manage instances of drought in Kenya. This is because of the litany of sufferings that Kenyan communities experience because of drought seasons. We have dependency on agriculture and the amount of diminishing returns farmers experience because of unexpected droughts is enormous. We need to mitigate against this. view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Therefore, I would like to thank my brother, hon.
