    "content": " Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I rise to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs regarding the delay in the operationalisation of administrative units in Kisumu Central Constituency. Hon. Speaker, on 21st July 2017, the Ministry of Interior and National Administration gazetted administrative units in 1,200 locations and 2,400 sub-locations. Among those gazetted were two locations: Kanyakwar and Nyalenda, and four sub-locations: Obunga, Kanyakwar, Dunga and Lower Milimani within Kisumu Central Constituency. Those areas, designated as administrative units, were intended to bring essential Government services closer to the residents, enhance security and facilitate efficient delivery of public services. However, nearly eight years later, the units are yet to be operationalised, resulting in the residents travelling long distances to acquire essential Government services. It is against this background that I request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs on the following: 1. A status report on the operationalisation of the administrative units in Kanyakwar and Nyalenda locations; and Obunga, Kanyakwar, Dunga and Lower Milimani sub-locations as per the gazettement of 21st July 2017; and, 2. The measures that have been put in place by the Ministry to ensure those administrative units become fully operational, thus enabling the local population to access essential national Government services conveniently and efficiently. I, thank you, Hon. Speaker."
