"content": " Okay. Hon. Temporary Speaker, it is sad, indeed, that several years after independence, we still have this shameful menace in this country. I listened to the Governor of Trans Nzoia, Hon. Natembeya, who is the former Regional Commissioner of that area. What he revealed was extremely shocking. If that is the case, then, probably, the current onslaught or operation is targeting the wrong solution to a problem which is typically a commercial enterprise. The poor road network and infrastructure in North Eastern Kenya, almost 15 years since devolution, is unacceptable dereliction of duty by the successive county governments. We call upon them to provide water, build roads, hospitals and schools so that people do not fight over resources, do not feel neglected, and, surely, isolated from the rest of Kenya. I had an opportunity to walk around there. They always told me to “ salimia Wakenya ”. Many of them still think President Moi is still the President of the Republic of Kenya. It is that bad. With those few remarks, because you requested me to keep them short, I support the Motion. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
