    "content": "To address this challenge, the Ministry commenced construction of 49 new district headquarters and refurbishment of 22 existing offices in the last financial year. In this financial year, the Ministry has been allocated Kshs436 million for the construction of the district offices. Out of this allocation, Kshs227 million will be utilized in the completion of the ongoing district specific projects while the balance of Kshs208 million will be utilized in the construction of offices whose documentation are being finalized. In addition, under the economic stimulus programme, the Treasury has, through the Ministry of Public Works, allocated Kshs2.1 billion for the construction of 70 district headquarters at a cost of Kshs30 million. This will significantly ease the shortfall of offices currently being experienced in the new districts. However, additional resources will be required for the construction of new police divisions and lines in the new district. The Ministry has further been allocated an amount of Kshs211 million that will be used for the rehabilitation and maintenance of security roads and security airstrips in the countryside. These roads and airstrips are classified strategic facilities that are spread through the country and are used mainly for security operations and emergency evacuations. The specific roads and airstrips that will be rehabilitated this fiscal year have already been identified and prioritized by respective district security committees. Once complete, the projects will enhance the Ministry’s capacity to respond to emergencies countrywide. In addition to the development project, the Ministry undertook the following activities in the Financial Year 2008/2009; inducted 125 newly appointed District Commissioners, recruited and inducted 48 District Officers, trained 20 District Commissioners and 26 chiefs on disaster management in Israel and rolled out the second wave of the Rapid Results Initiative (RRI) and reactivated district peace committees throughout the country. The Ministry has also facilitated the delineation of boundaries in 116 districts, procured computers, office furniture and equipment for the newly created districts and 411 assorted vehicles for the Ministry."
