    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to also support this very important Vote. The Minister and Permanent Secretary no doubt are very qualified Kenyans. Every Budget time, we have developed a song. As parliamentarians from northern Kenya when the Budget is read, we realize the serious shortfall and lack of attention the Ministry gives to the northern and Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs).When you speak to them, you get a sense of passion, but that sense of passion is never reflected in the Budget. Therefore, I would like to plead that this is given sufficient attention. I will begin by access. Twenty per cent of the entire northern Kenya in terms of land size can be equated to 75 per cent of the land size of this country. Educational opportunities are only accessed by 20 per cent while in the rest of the country, nearly 95 per cent get access. Therefore, there is need for the Minister and his staff to rethink their strategy and try to change the mindset. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we want to thank the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance for giving this Ministry money even though it is not sufficient."
