"content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, with regard to livestock off take for the pastoralist areas, we need to encourage them to slaughter animals that may not survive the current drought. There is also a problem of school fees. Parents in many parts of this country cannot afford to pay school fees any more. When we re-organize the budget, we need to address the question of school fees. We are also told that the Ministry of Planning, National Development and Vision 2030 has resources. There are CDF savings, which if it was released each constituency can benefit from Kshs15 million to Kshs20 million. This is the time that those resources should be released. We also need to look at the poor state of roads. The poor state of rural roads contributes to the increased cost of living. Finally, I want to quote Shakespeare who said âthere is a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortunate; omitted, all the voyages of their life is bound in shallows and in miseriesâ. Such time is now. The tide is high. Let us ride before we face the kind of uprising we are seeing in other parts of the Arab world."
