Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I personally have no objection with the two weeks requested but it is an old case. I would like the Assistant Minister to move with speed on this case.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, what the Assistant Minister calls a successful operation will be futile according to me and many others, because they have been doing this from 1960s and will not help pastoralists in the long run.

I am not saying that what the raiders did was a good thing. But I would want to tell the Government, particularly the Office of the President, that the approach has changed in many areas in the world inhabited by pastoralists . Traditional approaches are now preferred. They have called for several meetings. What is the Ministry planning to do to forestall this kind of a thing in the future? Are they planning to engage the communities directly? They should use communities themselves rather than the iron fist which they use and which is not yielding good results.

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Member for Samburu East had actually asked the Assistant Minister how those families will sustain themselves or how the Government will sustain those families since they have been denied their livelihood after the Government confiscated their livestock.

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would want to thank the Minister for the very good response. I have no doubt that he is really committed. But as much we, as Members of Parliament, are able to participate in the development of rural roads in this country, we are not able to get in any way the participation of the development of larger roads like the trunk roads in our country.

The Minister as much as he maybe be committed, I have a feeling will not be able to handle our issues unless there is a change in terms of sharing the national resources with regard to the development of the larger roads. What is he planning to do to develop those roads, including the trunk roads that connect Wajir-Mandera-Garissa? At the moment, the funds are held at the national level here. Could he tell us how best he would involve us?

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have not found a solution yet for the shortage of teachers, from the response of the Minister. It would be very important if the Minister could actually give a very firm undertaking to the House on how he intends to alleviate the shortage of teachers. I do not think the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) and the Ministry will be able to come up with a solution even under the Economic Stimulus Programme (ESP). It is because of the Ministryâs bad policy.
