Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you. The weathermen have said that there is going to be prolonged drought in the country. Even in the traditional rain-secure areas, we also have very severe pockets of very harsh climate, dry zones and sometimes even semi-arid and arid areas. In bringing a Statement, I would want to ask the Chairperson not to limit himself to the counties enumerated by the distinguished Senator for Tana River County but to give us a whole country profile on where there is severe water stress and its impact on the population.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we really appreciate the efforts of Sen. Adan. We also sympathise with the predicament in which the Executive keep putting her by sending her incompetent answers to give to this House. However, in this particular matter, I implore the Chair to use your authority and direct that the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government removes these Kenyans from the gate of Parliament and takes them to a safe holding ground while they sort out the identities and what other action they wish to take about them. As the distinguished ...
