    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to echo sentiments expressed by my colleagues, especially hon. Musila, who were here before me, on the issue of diversification. The Minister also talked about it in his speech. I am glad that he mentioned several areas in which the Ministry is trying to diversify, especially introduction of new products. There are areas in this country where our fellow Kenyans do not know. A good example is North Eastern Province. It is as closed as it was during the days when it was called Northern Frontier Districts (NFD). The Ministry, together with its institutions, are doing very little to come up with products that are relevant in those areas. It does not mean that we do not have any attraction at all. For example, the hirola antelope which we attempted sometimes back to relocate to some of the so called “prime areas” originate from my constituency. Today, there is nothing going on to attract tourists in those areas. I urge the Minister to develop Lamu-Masalani-Garissa-Kora-Meru circuit. It is very important because there is a lot of potential in those areas. Conference tourism can grow in those areas. There is need to, therefore, enhance domestic tourism. By developing those circuits, many Kenyans would be interested to go to those areas they are not familiar with."
