"content": "The mandate of this Ministry is to address the under-development of the region. That is why it was created so that the region can be at par with the other regions in this country. The Ministry was required to open up and give opportunities of employment, development, education and infrastructure development for the region. It is supposed to open up the region and connect it with electricity, telecommunication and various other development initiatives. It was supposed to build industries that could employ our youth who were unemployed. But it is unfortunate that with that broad and huge mandate of the Ministry of State for Development of Northern Kenya and other Arid Lands, it has never been allocated adequate resources to accomplish its vision, mission, mandate and the commitment it had. The Ministry is ill funded. It cannot realize and develop its own potential. It has no functional ability because it was only given money for operational use; just for fuel, logistics and salaries. We have an able Minister who is committed, who has the vision and the heart to develop the region."
