"content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, on the issue of Nyando being a hardship area, I managed to go around the constituency. I visited Homa Bay County where I encountered the problem in Nyatike. I also went to a place in Ndaragwa and the climatic conditions were equivalent to the neighbouring Laikipia Constituency and others that had come to my attention. We normally make a recommendation to the Ministry of Interior and National Administration with that of Public Service, Gender and Affirmative Action which usually gives approval. Hon. Member for Nyando, if you write to me, we can make recommendations to the relevant Ministry for approval for the area to be considered as a hardship area. If there is any other such area, you can also write to us. Are there cartels? I cannot be captured by any. I am six feet tall and at my age, my desire, passion and commitment is to serve this country. I am beyond that. My principal secretaries and officers are here and they know my stand. We are not going to entertain anything like that."
