    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. There are similarities in this Motion and the one that I have just moved. I thank Dr. Eseli for bringing this Motion to the House. The real issue in all these areas is equal distribution of resources, employment and other factors. As I thank the Government for this money which is trickling down to the people, I just 2918 PARLIAMETARY DEBATES October 22, 2008 want to say that this money is very important to the people. As much as the Government is trying to bring this money down to the people, it should see the priority areas where this money is required. Dr. Eseli has just mentioned health issues. Not all areas have Malaria or waterborne diseases. Some areas have a prevalent problem of tuberculosis or other kinds of diseases. The Ministry and the Government must ensure that this money is used to address the issues at hand. For example, Garissa needs the money for improvement of roads more than Nairobi. The road network in Garissa extends to very many kilometres while Nairobi has a few kilometres of roads. We cannot allocate the same amount of money to Nairobi and Garissa. We cannot also compare the population of western Kenya and Central Province with the population of Garissa. While the people of western Kenya require a lot of money for the youth, the people of Garissa require a lot of money for roads. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to second this Motion with the belief that the Office of the Prime Minister will analyze how they are allocating this money by finding out how much money of that Vote is required by a certain constituency or area. This will ensure that when proper analysis has been made, the correct amount is sent to the ground."
