• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the Speaker do now leave the Chair. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to register my Ministry’s gratitude to this august House for the continued support that it has given to us since our inception. Without such support, the realization of our vision of a safer responsive and disaster resilience society for sustainable development would not be easy. Our mission as a Ministry remains to co- ordinate disaster preparedness and response and mitigate humanitarian effects through relief and recovery programmes. We try to achieve that to a large extent through our mandate, which ... view

• 6 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) It is not true that the Emergency Operation Program (EMOP) or what we call now the Protracted Relief and Recovery Operation (PRRO), which commenced in May, 2009, allocated the larger Turkana lower relief beneficiaries as a result of the supposed erroneous population figures. To the contrary, the figure of the people who are being assisted with relief food was increased from 248,246 to 283,899 out of a population of 454,100. That figure includes 30,143 benefitting from the Food for Work Program, which translates into 63 per cent of the entire ... view
• 6 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for Part (b) of the Question, I have just a summary of the figure for the population, although I did not get all the figures up to 1969. But for 1979, the total number was 142,702. In 1999, the total was 184,060. In 1999, it was 450,806 and for 2009, the estimated population is 533,417, but that includes 114,897 refugees. That is the actual figure of the refugees in that area. view
• 6 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: (c) The Ministry was established in 2004, and prior to that, the function of relief supplies was in the Office of the President under the Ministry of Provincial Administration and Internal Security. The beneficiary figures for the EMOP program, which started in 2004, is as per the attached copy, and I have given it out. view
• 6 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: (d) The number of famine relief beneficiaries is not static but need-based. The figure is either scaled up or downwards depending on the severity of the drought situation on the ground. The larger Turkana region has been receiving more relief assistance than any other region in the country. The Government is currently faced with a challenge of feeding over 10 million Kenyans. There are more drought affected areas to cover, including the high potential regions which traditionally, did not require relief assistance. That has overstretched limited resources, but I would like to assure the hon. Member that the Government will ... view
