"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me start by talking about the vehicles. We have actually made applications to the Treasury, and consequently to Parliament, to give us money to buy more vehicles. Last year, we were given about Kshs35 million to buy a few vehicles. However, we have been stopped from utilizing that money because of the ceiling on the number of motor vehicles that a Ministry can have. Unfortunately, we are not like other Ministries. The other Ministries such as the Ministry of East African Community do not have branches. I have offices in every district. There are over 200 districts. I have several borders. In those districts, there are several registration centres. There are enough registration officers in those districts. We have told the Treasury to treat this service just like the security, which they have given a leeway to buy more vehicles and we should not be topped at 100. In fact, they topped the vehicles at 100. If you divide that with the centres and districts, we do not have enough vehicles."
