    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this policy was meant to be launched in July last year. But the actual date which the hon. Member is fully aware of because he participated in the launching was in December last year. First of all, we did a preliminary discussion with those coming from the ASAL regions in the Serena Hotel, just to refresh his memory. The official launching was actually done on December, 2010. That is the correct information. As regards the allegation, obviously, I did indicate to the hon. Members at that time that if we took the route of forming a Nomadic Commission jointly with the Ministry of State for Development of Northern Kenya and Other Arid Lands, it would take time. The process of developing a sessional paper, having in place legal framework through Cabinet and taking the matter to the House would take time. I said I would endeavour to seek an Executive Order in order to be able to bring on board this Nomadic Education Policy. That is what I am about to do. I have, indeed, developed a draft commission Executive Order and it has gone to the Attorney-General’s Chambers for polishing. I cannot speed it any further than that. When that is done, then I will have the opportunity to present it before the Cabinet at the pleasure of His Excellency the President. This is because, at the end of the day, he is the one who will give the Executive Order. We will then start seeking for funding for that Nomadic Education Policy."
