    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, women are allowed to sit in the committees, but not as Maendeleo ya Wanawake Organisation. That is what I was saying. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the Women Enterprise Development Fund, the President said it would be started at a later date. I want to give an example of the Youth Enterprise Development Fund. It was initiated and put in the Budget in June. Today, ten months down the line, only Kshs210 million has been dispatched. A sum of Kshs790 million will be dispatched at a later date, which we do not know. It would have made me a bit more comfortable, if it was the other way round; Kshs790 million dispatched and Kshs210 million still waiting. If that Fund is set up by June, it will spill over to 2008 and the women will not say that this Government is the one that has done it. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to talk about security. Unfortunately, the security docket is dominated by one tribe. We want to start from the Minister of State For Administration and National Security, the Provincial Commissioners (PCs), the Provincial Police Officers (PPOs), the District Commissioners and even the Director of Criminal Investigations Department (CID). That is a very bad situation in this country because we cannot leave one community to be the one responsible for the security of this nation. Even the Permanent Secretaries are all from the same region. No wonder the President has even not set foot in Mt. Elgon District regardless of the clashes going on there."
