"content": " Thank you very much for giving Elgeyo/Marakwet this opportunity. I want the Prime Cabinet Secretary to confirm that this country has 23 gazetted ASALs and that Elgeyo/Marakwet is not one of them. Elgeyo/Marakwet County meets all requirements to gazette a county as an ASAL area. That is why I make endless safaris to the State Department for ASALs and Regional Development whenever we have bandit attacks, landslides, and flooding. The Principal Secretary has assured me a thousand times that they are in the process of gazetting Elgeyo/Marakwet County. I am asking him when they will gazette Elgeyo/Marakwet County as an ASAL area. All its four constituencies have more than 60 per cent of their land in arid areas. The remaining 40 per cent is gazetted forests that no one occupies. There is no activity in the forests."
