Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister is misleading the House. In Butula Constituency, there is one police post and an administration police lines, but there is no female officer at any of those places. Could the Assistant Minister assure this House that he is going to post female police officers to each police post and the Administration Police lines?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister should not continue to mislead the House that every police station has got a female police officer. The abuse of women by policemen at police stations is rampant in this country. He should not pretend not to be aware of it. Could he help to curb such incidents by posting more female police officers to police stations, so that they can be female-friendly?

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this very appropriate Motion. I take this opportunity to congratulate the hon. Member for bringing this Motion to the House because in Kenya, we have two tribes: The rich and the poor. The poor are the majority in this nation. In this country, we have areas where more than 70 per cent of the population experiences poverty. These areas should be treated specially when we are talking about economic growth and economic recovery strategy. We should address these areas without talking in a blanket form ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to contribute to this Motion. This is a very appropriate Motion and I hope the Government will take note.

Forty years after Independence, we are still talking about farming. My suggestion here is that the country should be zoned according to climatic conditions so that we do not have too much water in ...
