The climate scientists say human-induced climate change contributed substantially to the 2015-2016 extreme drought over Eastern and Southern Africa by accentuating the natural El-Nino impact. Therefore, the National Treasury ought to shift budgetary allocations from environment-degrading coal projects, like the Kshs1.3 billion allocated to the exploration and mining of coal in the 2021/2022 Budget, to fight hunger. It can be used to drill adequate boreholes and wells for communities in drought susceptible areas. I thank you.
