Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to say that the people of upper eastern are generally very grateful for the Government efforts as concerns this great highway. We have waited for too long. It is like a dream that has come true. However, while we commend the Government efforts, I believe donor funded projects also do have Government components. While we are waiting for the donors to organize themselves and embark on the serious sections of the work, do you not think it is imperative that the Government component can as well begin, so that by the time the donors are ...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. While acknowledging all that the Assistant Minister has said, I had asked about the Government of Kenya’s contribution. I had in mind the section between Merile and Marsabit and the section between Turbi and Moyale. To rephrase that question, what is the Government---

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the situation in Isiolo is, indeed, worrying. I recall that in 2009, the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security entered into an agreement with members of the pastoral communities so that a disarmament programme would be commenced in all pastoral areas. I would like to confirm that in some parts, the disarmament has been done while in some areas, the process has not been carried out.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Mr. Assistant Minister has said that he has allocated Kshs10 million for the drilling of two boreholes in Hulugho and in another place. What assurance can he give? I am asking this because he had promised that he would sink a borehole in my constituency in October last year; up to now that borehole has not been sunk, and the rig is just lying idle in the nearby constituency. Could he come clean---?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes I am aware of the food shortage being experienced in Nyatike District following the drought that has hit most parts of the country. (b) My Ministry has a mechanism of determining the food security status in the districts. We receive monthly reports from the District Steering groups on the food situation with recommendations on the interventions required. In addition, the Ministry implements recommendations of the Kenya Food Security Steering Group which conducts national food security assessment twice every year or as need arises. (c) In the case of Nyatike, my Ministry ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate what the hon. Member has said. The figures I read are figures before the disaster was declared in the country. Since then, not only Nyatike but also all the other areas affected by drought have had food rations doubled. We have got additional support and I can assure the Member that the figure is going to be doubled for Nyatike people.
