    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, ASALs in this country, as the Motion says, constitute in excess of 80 per cent of our land mass. They need special intervention. They need special attention. They need special care. We have said here many times before that the whole definition of what constitutes ASAL, and which areas in this country should qualify to be ASAL, need to be addressed. It has been mistakenly believed that ASAL means the North Eastern Province, the Upper Rift Valley region, the Upper Eastern Province and bits and pieces of Maasailand, yet if you go to Karai Location within Kikuyu Division, you will find very deep conditions that qualify the area to be categorised as ASAL. If you go to Ruthimitu, on the edge of the Rift Valley, you will see ASAL at its worst. If you go to Budalang'i, in Bunyala District, you will see ASAL at play. If you go to the constituency of the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs, you will see that the whole of it is ASAL. If you go to Bumula Constituency, where Mr. Bifwoli is the Member of Parliament, you will see that half of it is ASAL. A third of my constituency is ASAL. I am told that Mukurweini Constituency is also ASAL."
