"content": "second financial year running of this five year period. The Office of the Prime Minister has the moral obligation to make sure that the funding that comes from the Ministry of Finance to the respective Ministries is done across the board. We, the people of northern Kenya, feel that we need more answers than anything else, if the Ministry of State for the Development of Northern Kenya and Other Arid Lands is under the Office of the Prime Minister. My second point is that the Office of the Prime Minister must be funded. It must take the lead in the reform agenda of this country. Agenda Four of the National Reconciliation Process is yet to be realised. We need to see the Office of the Prime Minister leading everybody else on the constitutional matters of this country. We want to hear what the Committee of Experts is doing. We want the Office of the Prime Minister to support the Ministry of Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs in the formation and running of the various commissions that this Office has operationalised. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I tend to agree with Mr. Affey that we should de-link party politics from the Office of the Prime Minister. We should de-link the party called âODMâ from the Office of the Prime Minister. The ODM, as a party, has its Secretariat. It is being funded under the Political Parties Act. I want to agree with Mr. Affey that when we talk of the Office of the Prime Minister, we should not talk of ODM. When we talk of the Office of the Vice President and Minister for Home Affairs, it should not be synonymous with ODM-K. When we talk of the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security, we are not talking about PNU. This must come out very clearly. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, we hear a lot about the concept of co-ordination and supervision of other Ministries. We want the Office of the Prime Minister and his able team, led by the Permanent Secretary, to walk the talk,and give us a report on how they monitor the various Government Departments, in terms of the various projects that they implement on behalf of the people of Kenya. With those few remarks, I beg to support the Motion."
