    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I, the undersigned, on behalf of the residents of Chepalungu Sub-county, draw the attention of the House to the following: THAT, the harsh climatic conditions in Chepalungu Sub-county have become a great concern to the residents who are left with no clear sources of livelihood; THAT, Chepalungu Sub-county meets the requirements of a hardship area due to its land being purely black cotton soil and fairly flat terrain, leading to deplorable road networks that have to be re-done every year; hampered movements amongst the locals, lack of clean drinking water and basic social amenities among others; THAT, the geographical orientation and rugged rocky terrain in most parts of the Sub-county have made it impossible for public service providers, among them the Kenya Power & Lighting Company to access the villages leading to extremely low electricity connection; THAT, the fairly flat terrain and poor road network and infrastructure make the area inaccessible with limited access to clean water and equally low access to water for farming; with surveys showing that the water table is at an average depth of 220 meters below the surface with low yields, making the process of drawing underground water very expensive and uneconomical; THAT, with over 201 primary schools and 97 secondary schools in Chepalungu Sub-county, teachers posted to those schools have been reluctant to take up jobs, with The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor"
