It is factual that the Coast region has been under-served for the 60 years he is talking about. It is factual that the poorest regions in this country are at the Coast. The Coast Development Authority (CDA) was set up by the late Karisa Maitha in this Parliament to mitigate against under-serving the populace at the Coast. It was set up to mitigate under-development. Hon. Rindikiri fails to look at facts. Facts are in the Standing Orders. It is factual that under-development has been there for the last 60 years. Stick to the facts. Coast has been under-served. Do not paint a picture that does not exist. They are facts. This Parliament believes in facts."},{"id":1386003,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1386003/?format=json","text_counter":261,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Hon.

When we appropriate money for the Regional Development Authorities, we must consider having a national outlook. The time has come to state that those Regional Development Authorities are funded by the Exchequer, and appropriated through the National Assembly. We can even transfer their functions to the counties and increase the funding of the counties so that they can perform the same functions. This country needs to go back again and review it because some counties are not adequately covered by those authorities. The Tana and Athi Rivers Development Authority covers very limited areas of Meru County. My constituency, Buuri, is not under any of those authorities and yet, I share the same geographical conditions with Laikipia and Isiolo. This means that, as we push those authorities, we must ensure that all the areas with similar climatical and weather conditions are lumped up together. Therefore, I will ask the drafters and the proposers of this Bill to re-organise and look at the coverage areas. If we do not do that, we will be discriminating against the traditionally known counties. I join other Members in saying that the time has come for us to move forward and not backwards. I support this Bill."},{"id":1386010,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1386010/?format=json","text_counter":268,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Hon.
