Though Perez promises to work alongside the Ministry Of Agriculture to get relief to the farmers that have lost crops, there's not much he can do to summon the rains. And that's what's needed more than anything else. The Chief Met Officer says "soon come":

Ronald Gordon, Chief Meteorologist
"We are seeing an increase in moisture coming in this weekend. actually today we were expecting thunderstorms to develop over the my mountains and that should be some relief in that area. It won't be the entire country at first, and then for tonight we are expecting some rains over the south. And that will eventually move up towards the cost and the rest of the country into tomorrow morning. And then we see a similar pattern repeating throughout the weekend so the rains are coming gradually. but we know that we do have dry spells, especially during the June July August. So therefore, if human induced activity continues. Then there is likely that we will have more fires, so that is my long and short answer to your question."
