    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to join other hon. Members in congratulating the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government for the serious work he is doing in terms of giving capacity to local authorities. However, on the same issue, at the time the last extension was given, the situation was not as bad as it is today. The Minister lives in this country and he knows that we are under a global recession that is affecting not only the Central Government but also the local authorities. The LATF is doing a lot of work on the ground in Garsen just as the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) is. If the Tana River County Council is going to be disbanded, we will suffer irreparable damage. In view of the current circumstances; the global recession and the political violence that we had, could the Minister give an undertaking to this House that they will give a further extension, which could be the last, before they effect these tough measures on local authorities?"
