    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to give Notice of the following Motions:- INCREASED BUDGETARY ALLOCATION TO MINISTRY OF DEVELOPMENT OF NORTHERN KENYA AND OTHER ARID LANDS THAT, noting the present and the continued marginalisation of northern Kenya; aware that because of the prolonged neglect, the entire region has lagged behind in development compared to other parts of Kenya; cognisant of the fact that inhabitants of the region are taxpayers with equal human and legal rights like other Kenyans and entitled to all the services provided by the Government including security, infrastructural facilities such as roads network to open up the region; appreciating the efforts of the Grand Coalition Government in establishing the Ministry of Development of Northern Kenya and Other Arid Lands as a strategy to address this historical imbalance; this House resolves that the Minister for Finance increases budgetary allocation to the Ministry of Development of Northern Kenya and Other Arid Lands to, at least, 15 per cent per annum for the next decade in line with the Government recent approach towards development and transformation of this region. ROTATIONAL SITTINGS OF PARLIAMENT IN VARIOUS REGIONS OF KENYA THAT, aware that Section 58(1) of the Constitution of Kenya provides that each Session of Parliament shall be held at such a place within Kenya and shall commence at such a time as the President may appoint; considering the growing public urge and the need to demystify Parliament for the electorate; cognisant of the fact that parliamentarians represent the aspirations of the entire country; conscious of the need for Members to have first-hand account of the regional development challenges and problems that the local people grapple with on a daily basis; this House resolves that the House shall hold rotational sittings in various parts of Kenya. 3212 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES November 4, 2008 INTRODUCTION OF CONSTITUENCY REVOLVING FUND BILL"
