"content": "The issue of Kazi Kwa Vijana (KKV), is very important. On the Ministry of Northern Kenya and other Arid Lands, if this Ministry is to make an impact to the pastoralists, it should be funded to the tune of 15 percent of the national Budget. You should realize that pastoralists occupy 80 percent of the land mass of this country. This is also the most marginalized area in this country. So, for the this Ministry to function, it requires a lot of money. On the Constitution, it is very important that we use the Draft as the pillar for us to push forward the constitution issue. The issue of truth, justice, equity and fairness, if Members of Parliament can drive his agenda, we will succeed. The last one is the environment. As hon. Members, we should actually advance the issue of the environment; in particular, the issue of the water towers like the Mau. We know our brothers should be treated humanely. The Government should look for the best way to settle these people. Those with title deeds need to be compensated. Those without them, the Government must be bold enough to stand by its decision. The other day, we mentioned the issue of the drought. People are suffering because there is no rain yet. We need food. Our people need food. They need restocking; they also need the writing off of AFC loans. It is very important that the Government takes into consideration all these suggestions. With those few remarks, I support."
