    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is one project we thought was coming to help us, but as we speak now, people are fighting every day over limited resources. The Minister in charge of internal security is seated next to the Assistant Minister and I hope he will help. The matter that is more fundamental to us is that we expect this Ministry, through KVDA, to be able to allocate a particular amount of money to each of the counties – Pokot County and Turkana County. Could the Assistant Minister inform the House why he has decided not to be giving money on the basis of allocation? Talk of piecemeal projects, whether through the KVDA or KenGen; talk of specific projects like a school, a dormitory, or a classroom. While they are important, to me, those are about corporate social responsibilities. What we are asking for is a programme of action by the Government that they allocate a specific amount every year for particular development to alleviate poverty and help with bursaries as hon. Koech has suggested. Could he inform the House when he will do so? You cannot continue negotiating for a project that was completed in 1991. Are you negotiating until Jesus comes? Invest in negotiation skills!"
