    "content": "THAT, noting the past and continued marginalization of the northern Kenya; aware that because of the prolonged neglect, the entire region has lagged behind in development compared to other parts of Kenya; cognizant of the fact that the inhabitants of the region are tax payers with equal human and legal rights like other Kenyans entitled to all the services provided by the Government, including adequate security and infrastructural facilities such as road network to open up the region; appreciating the efforts of the Grand Coalition Government in establishing the Ministry for the Development of Northern Kenya and other Arid Lands as a strategy to address these historical imbalances, this House urges the Minister for Finance to increase budgetary allocation to the Ministry of Development of Northern Kenya and Other Arid Lands to at least 15 per cent per annum of the Development Budget for the next decade, in line with the Government’s recent positive approach towards the development and transformation of this region."
