    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I feel a lot of pain listening to that answer. For the last four years, this Ministry has been in consultation with me on how to provide vehicles to Moyale and Sololo Districts. Today we are being told that the two districts will be provided with vehicles in the next financial year. Only in October, when His Excellency the President went to preside over the ground-breaking ceremony of the Moyale-Turbi Road, we appealed to him, so that we can be provided with vehicles for the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security because of the difficult situation in the county. The Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security moved with speed and provided vehicles to many districts, including Sololo and Moyale. This Ministry, to-date, is dragging its feet. It is like they are disobeying the executive order given by His Excellency the President. What I need from the Ministry is to be certain that vehicles are going to be provided urgently, so that children in Moyale and Sololo Districts can get decent education like children in the rest of the country. I am not ready to receive answers such as “next financial year” only for the same to be postponed when we reach the next financial year, bearing in mind the fact that His Excellency the President had personally directed this Ministry to avail the vehicles. What is the Assistant Minister going to do for these two specific districts in the meantime; before financial year 2012/2013, when he is going to provide vehicles to all other districts? Since His Excellency has given a directive, what is he going to do to make sure that the two districts get vehicles?"
