The true position is that the districts constituting the county have independent codes as follows:- Samburu East – 7060; Samburu North – 7065; Samburu Central – 7075. (b) The two districts of Samburu East and Samburu North already have budget codes as indicated above. The stated information can be found on page IX of the Recurrent Estimates book 2011/2012."

I just want to state the position to make the Assistant Minister understand what I am talking about. The District Land Adjudication and Settlement Officer in Samburu County who serves three districts, cannot do adjudication exercises in Samburu East because he has got no budget code; he has got no allocation. The District Registrar of Persons, and I wish the Minister of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons was around, was only able to issue ID cards in two locations, because he has an allocation meant for one district whereas he is supposed to serve three districts. The same applies to the District Trade Officer. He has not visited Samburu East District in the last four years for the same reasons."

However, the question of allocation and the question of the code are two different issues. It is the Ministries which are responsible for giving allocations to their officers. In the Treasury, we only create these codes. If there are no allocations, we will check with the relevant Ministries to ensure that they give proper allocations to these particular districts. As I said, we do not do the allocations. It is the Ministries who do them themselves."
