"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, although I believe that we ought not to be discussing this, let me take this opportunity to say a few things. It is all very well that we now have a trillion budget. It is all very well that the economy is growing. But those who are on the periphery are asking: Whose economy and where is this economy growing? I travelled last weekend to Samburu and Isiolo. The people are very hungry. The situation there is dire. You will recall that at the beginning of this year we passed the Supplementary Estimates which had money to alleviate the suffering of the people in the dry areas where there is famine. The reports today are saying five people have died in Turkana. We know the situation is dire in North Eastern Province and in many other parts of Kenya. The question we are asking is this: Where is the money we voted in the Supplementary Estimates? This Government appears to be good in statements or policy, but not in implementation. There is disconnect between the statements of policy and implementation. We are asking the Government to wake up to the reality that the services are not reaching the people."
