    "content": "We do not have that money and I really have to say that Parliament has a budget for all Committees; I do not think there is an extra fund. If you give us some extra funds I am prepared to leave next week with my Committee. Hon. Deputy Speaker on the issue of declaring that matter a national disaster, I think that this is an issue that has to be discussed by the National Security Council. Considering what is transpiring at the moment, and that there is peace now that has been brought by the mediation committee, Members of Parliament and the County Government, in its wisdom, the National Security Council felt that the matter does not merit to be declared a national disaster. You all know that this House approved the deployment of Kenya Defence Forces to that particular area. That also gives you the confidence that the Government is taking this issue very seriously. With regard to the issue of a data bank – hon. Duba said that it has no integrity – this will be addressed by my Committee, the Cabinet Secretary and the hon. Member when we meet. He will have a chance to critique and give his part of the story in terms of whether or not the figures given have integrity. Hon. Chachu raised the issue of disarmament of the KPR. The Ethiopian Government has its security personnel at the borders well armed. Because of the urgency of this matter, as you all know many communities, be they Gabbra, Burji, Borana, Rendille or Somalis--- It was felt that these firearms are being used by the same communities to kill each other. They were withdrawn, but at a later stage they will be vetted and only the people with integrity will be given the firearms. So, this is a temporary measure and not a permanent one."
