So, there was a total allocation of Kshs1.765 million. (b) The Ministry will take the following steps to enhance registration of persons in Marsabit North District: (i) post registration officers as soon as the Public Service Commission recruits or promotes an officer from within the service in that position as a Registrar; (ii) avail adequate registration material and equipment; (iii) conduct awareness campaigns in the district for registration; and, (iv) conduct mobile registration if funds are available in the Financial Year, 2010/2011."}
