If Kshs10 billion was set for that purpose, I urge the President to ensure that compensation to these people is fast-tracked. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, sometimes we talk about resources being allocated according to population. That is the greatest factor in the allocation of money to counties. In our region, because of historical injustices in the name of shiftas, terror and so on, we have faced a lot of injustice. That also reduced our population. The fact that there are no investments in those counties also makes the situation worse. We are now being punished for not having a bigger population. The allocation formula is always pegged on population. For example, in Wajir County, from one end to the other, it is about 500 kilometres. Reaching people living in those sparse areas is more costly than a county that you can traverse within three hours. Some counties are so developed that you do not even know what to do with money set aside for development because successive governments have been developing them. So, let us find a just way of distributing resources. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with those remarks, I beg to support."
