    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Every region or community has certain expectations from every regime. We, as Northerners, have three critical expectations from the current regime. One has been solved. It was training, recruitment and posting of teachers which has been solved by His Excellency the President. Two more critical issues are remaining. You may be part of the solution because you are a major stakeholder in the current Government. One of them is extension of the national grid from Garissa to Wajir and Madera. This has yet to get the attention of the Government at the planning stage. The third one which I want it to go on record is the construction of Isiolo-Modogashe- Wajir-Mandera-Samatar Road. Unless the planners are seized with this matter, it is difficult even to get a donor. I agree with the Chairman that there is no time when resources will be enough. We have been excluded from the national planning by the discriminatory Sessional Paper No.10 of 1965. Under your leadership, can you include this in the next budgetary framework, so that Northern Kenya is connected to the national grid? I request you to use your administrative, parliamentary and legal skills to assist us, as a stakeholder of the current regime. Please, push this so that for once in our lifetime, we see connection to the national grid just like we are waiting for that critical road connection to our region. Thank you very much."
