    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I hope you will consider that my time was consumed in this debate and give me a few more minutes. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the more I listen to hon. Ojode, the less I understand him. Right now, I understand him to be fairly making an attempt to answer Questions, but probably I do not see any actions on the ground. He is talking about the general election and insecurity, and yet in Isiolo we have faced insecurity for all these years. I do not need to wait for general elections. From Isiolo to Marsabit and all those counties that I have mentioned--- I am being told about insecurity that may likely arise during the general elections. We are already facing it. We are talking about the current situation. I want to stop there because I think I have made my point. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the next issue is drought in this country. One of the things that have undermined development in this country is the drought that affects the area where I come from. We have lost a lot of livestock. In this area we still do water tankering. What exactly do we mean? At what level of development are we? This is the very reason for which Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) should reconsider its formula. In some of these areas the basics are taken care of within the shortest time possible, perhaps, in the first three years. We need to fundamentally address the issue of insecurity that he has superficially addressed. The other issue is about the Ministry of Labour and Human Resource Development. There are a lot of Kenyans in Industrial Area and other areas in this country whose issues are mishandled. Labour laws are not followed. This Minister, who was claiming that he has been doing a good job, should visit Industrial Area. The complaints we receive as Members of Parliament with regard to the way employers mishandle junior employees, or those who are lowly paid, are numerous. We are unable to handle those complaints because the Ministry does not do the right job. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support."
