    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Minister did not answer the first question properly which is clearly asking why there are the disparities, with regard to income distribution. An example is in the public service where the lowest income is Kshs5,000 in Job Group `A' and the highest in the public service, is over Kshs2.5 million per month. Those are some of the things. However, let me ask my question with regard to the second part of his answer where he said that billions of shillings have been invested in areas like in the North Eastern Province. The news about that money that seems to have been reported, time and again; about the North Eastern Province is quite misleading. The billions that they have invested and they talk about is the cost of famine relief being given to people. The question that is causing all these problems is the imbalance in resource allocation in the Budget. What action is the Government going to take, which it can do in the short term, in terms of addressing the inequalities inherent in the annual allocation of resources in the Budget? That is where our problem is!"
