"content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The other issue is that of the vehicles which the Jubilee Government is bragging about every now and then. They are saying that they have given vehicles to the police. Those vehicles are there but vehicles without fuel are useless. They are just packed there at the police stations doing nothing. On the issue of fuel, they have decided that those vehicles can be fuelled using cards. In places like Turkana East where there is no petrol station, the officers drive 230 kilometres to Lokichoggio or Kitale which is 400 kilometres from Lokori to go and just fill the tank and not even carry a spare drum. So, it is always a trip of going to fill the tank and coming back. Are we addressing the issue of security or just of that officer going to Kitale and coming back? The Government willhave to address the issue of fuel so that it can be bought there and not having vehicles travelling all those kilometres. The other recommendation I can give is taking affirmative action in development of those areas. People of areas like Tiaty which I sympathise a lot with have no schools, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
