On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. You realize that hon. Nyamweya is addressing the House from the Dispatch Box, contrary to the Standing Orders.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Motion on the Votes of these two Ministries. I want to start with the Ministry of Planning, National Development and Vision 2030. The hon. Members who spoke before me have already talked of the importance of this Ministry. This cannot be over emphasised. There is a common saying that if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Therefore, as one hon. Member said, if you do these plans and you do not follow them up, then it is as good as you do ...

I want to go to specifics. Every five years, this Ministry issues out a national development plan. Due to that, this should be the lead Ministry in terms of what they have now borrowed in the Civil Service, that is performance contracting. I wonder

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank Mr. Affey for moving this Motion because it addresses one of the key challenges of this country for the next few years to come. I must emphasize that this is nothing new. I can refer to the records of this House. One nationalist in this House, in 1975, had gone on record to say that when Kenyans from northern Kenya come to Nairobi or go to the central part of this Republic, they say that they are going to Kenya. He was very categorical and stated very clearly that the reason ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to thank the Assistant Minister for that answer. However, he is not serious. GK A920G stationed at Sericho Police Station has not been operational for the last one year. Sericho Police Station is over 200 kilometres away from the Divisional Police Headquarters. As at Monday this week, that vehicle was not operational. I do not know when it started operating.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, GK A907, which is stationed at Garba Tulla Police Station, is 19 years old. Does the Assistant Minister expect the police officers to use that kind of a vehicle, which is 19 years old? What is the Ministryâs policy on motor vehicles? This is a shame!

Mr. Speaker, Sir, in Part (b) of the answer, the Assistant Minister has said that there are plans to construct 24 modern housing units for the police in the area. Those houses were constructed in 1964 and nothing has been done on them to date. They have all fallen apart. Could the Assistant Minister tell us how much has been earmarked for the construction?

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to decline to answer my question? I asked him specifically about Garba Tulla. I know that there could be beautiful plans for the whole country, but Garba Tulla has been forgotten since 1964. How much has been set aside for Garba Tulla? I represent those people!

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This Assistant Minister is refusing to answer this question. I beg you to compel him to answer the question. A work plan that he has referred to includes, among other things, bills of quantities. A work plan is not done in a vacuum.
