The purpose of leadership is basically to deliver on services. However, that is not possible if we cannot increase production. Production is not possible if we cannot deal squarely with the problem of infrastructure. I stand here to echo some of the sentiments made by my fellow hon. Members and an issue that was raised from the beginning of the opening of this House, which is inequitable distribution of resources. We are all aware in this House that this country has neglected some areas. I come from one of those areas which I believe were left behind in the past but I am happy that in last year’s Budget, Kshs900 million was allocated towards the construction of Hola-Garsen Road, although it is not enough. What I was expecting from this Budget is that an additional amount of money would have been set aside to supplement the construction of that road to completion. I know the Minister might not be aware but the Minister for Medical Services is quite aware that the Hola District Hospital is currently condemned. I was expecting that some money would have been set aside in this Budget to take care of that hospital. I think and believe that the Minister gave me these five minutes because he wanted to capture my views so that he can also allocate some funds towards the construction of the Hola District Hospital. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, one critical issue that is affecting this country today is the issue of food security. I come from Galole and you know where it is. It lies along the River Tana but I am a bit aggrieved today because despite Galole being along the River, it is relying on relief supplies for the whole of this year. For the last 20"
