I am saying so, because in my constituency after eight years in Parliament, I have only got four boreholes from the Government. Under CDF, I have close to 35 boreholes. The reason why there is the CDF is failure by the Government to plan according to the needs of the people.

• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Government and the previous Government of the Ninth Parliament have achieved a lot in various sectors be it in the road sector, water or devolved funds. But when it comes to the issuance of the national identification cards, it is a disaster. There is a perception within the Government that the right person to issue the national identity cards and the person with the right information is the Principal Registrar. When I got my first ID in 1982, I was a Form Four student and I got it in school on the spot. I ... view
• 31 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this matter has been known to the Government for a long time. In 2006, the Member of Parliament, Mr. M.Y. Haji, who is the current Minister of State for Defence wrote a letter, which was addressed to the then DC, Garissa. It says: view
