• 27 May 2009 in National Assembly: (iii) The Government regularly provides additional food to people not covered under the EMOP. See the attached table. view
• 27 May 2009 in National Assembly: (iv) Other non-food interventions in sectors like water, education, health and livestock are being undertaken by the line Ministries. view
• 27 May 2009 in National Assembly: (b) As mentioned above, the Ministry is working with the WFP to provide assistance to food insecure populations through the EMOP. The number of targeted beneficiaries can only be reviewed in line with the changing food security situation. This is done by conducting food security assessment in districts where the food situation is poor. If the assessment confirms a worsening food situation in a given district, then more people are targeted by increasing relief supplies provided. The number can be reduced if the situation improves and people’s livelihood restored. view
• 27 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr Deputy Speaker, Sir, that question should be a substantive Question. It should be addressed to the Ministry of Development of Northern Kenya and other Arid Areas. view
• 27 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, providing food to the suffering people of Kenya requires enough finances. As the situation is now, we are trying to make sure that every part of the country is covered, especially the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs). I have to work within the budgetary allocations that I have been given. I cannot go beyond those allocations. view
• 27 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not have a particular answer to that question. This is because sometimes the food is within the district, but the DSGs, under the District Commissioner’s chairmanship, have been unable to distribute it. I am struggling to have my own co-ordinators or people who can be answerable to my Ministry and who can take full responsibility for the distribution of relief food. view
• 27 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, through the EMOP, we have scaled up relief supplies. Whereas earlier on we were only feeding about 1.4 million grown-ups, the figure has now shot up to 2.6 million people. The School Feeding Programme (SFP) has also been scaled up. Unless I go and check in our records when the hon. Member asks a Question about Eastern Province, especially Ukambani area, I cannot give you right now the figures of the distribution of relief food. Generally, we have scaled up the distribution. view
• 27 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first and foremost, the Government has decided to change from rain-fed agriculture to irrigation. Most of the irrigation schemes in the country are being revived. Apart from that, there are a number of dams which will be built all over. In the first phase, about six big dams will be built. More dams will be built in the next financial year so that we can stop depending on rain-fed agriculture. Certainly, that will improve the food security in this country. view
• 27 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the 123,510 are actually going up. There is another 2,000 for the larger Mandera. Then there is food for the School Feeding Programme (SFP). The SFP is benefiting 72,441. All those are supposed to be part of the populace of the larger Mandera District. view
• 26 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, copies of the written reply were sent to Parliament last week. So, it is unfortunate that the Member has not received a copy. However, if she does not mind, I beg to reply. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply: - (a)The Government is not considering buying land to settle the 15,000 IDPS camping at the 50 acre plot at Mawingo in Nyahururu since the plot on which they are currently camping on is their plot. (b) The landless IDPs, through their own initiative and with the support of the Government, has been forming themselves into groups ... view
