Member is valid, I have worked in North Eastern and I know the distances are quite scaring. On the issue of time-frame, I want to confirm to the hon. Member that as a Committee, we requested for funds from the Budget and Appropriations Committee. The Director of Civil Registration requested for funds so that they can actually post officers to those other places. I have not confirmed from the Director of Budget whether they have been given money from the Committee on Budget and Appropriations. If money is allocated to this Department, I want to assure the hon. Member that we will advice the Cabinet Secretary concerned to fast-track so that the people of that constituency can be accorded the services. On the other sub-counties, I think this is a nationwide problem and we will try as a Committee to ensure that we push the Cabinet Secretary so that officers can be posted to all sub-counties in this country. I thank you, hon. Speaker."}
