    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this Motion. It is important that we go back to our constituencies to help in the healing process. I would like to start by commenting on the issue of security. Nothing will happen in this country unless we guarantee security. There is no development without security. There will be no security without development. So, as the Government looks for ways of improving the infrastructure, it will be very important that fairness is used. That is because if you look at the situation obtaining in Mt. Elgon and Laikipia - the issue of small arms proliferation--- How do you disarm one particular community and leave another community with arms? It is very important that a proper programme is put in place to support that. It is also very unfair, as we discuss issues of security, for Members of this House to keep on piling blame on the security organs of this country. It will make the security organs of this country ineffective. If you do not have any evidence, then you should not come forward and accuse the security organs of this country. That is because they are supposed to provide that security which we very much need. But if you have evidence, you should submit it to the proper agencies of this country. That way, that particular security service will be dealt with. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this afternoon we were talking about issues affecting the Ministry of Education. There was a Ministerial Statement issued by the Minister for Education. He talked about provision of a special programme for the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs). I come from an ASAL area, but I am not aware of such a programme. I have been an hon. Member for the last five years. It is very important for Ministers of any Government to come forward and tell Kenyans, March 25, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 401 through this House, the truth. I am not aware of this special programme. I would like to be enlightened about it. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, impunity, corruption and ethnicity should not rear their ugly heads in this country. We call upon the two principals, that in the process of forming a new Government, which should have been done yesterday--- We are going on recess because we do not have a full Government. We need a full Government, which is free of corrupt individuals. We do not want a Government with corrupt individuals. I do not understand why hon. Members are not applauding!"
