Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also stand to support the Motion. Let me take this opportunity to thank all the hon. Members of this House for the tremendous work they have put in to pass the various Motions we have had throughout this Session. As we come to a close, there are two or three issues on which I would like to comment. I know that we are proceeding to a season where there will be a lot of activities. We have had a lot of accidents in the last years because of driving when drunk. I would request Kenyans ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, a lot of accidents have been happening on Kenyan roads because of lack of markings. We have this road which has been under construction for three years. The road runs from Athi River through Mlolongo to the airport, Cabanas Junction. Recently, we lost one of our top producers in the KBC, Mr. Isaac Baru, because of lack of markings on this road. When will the Assistant Minister mark this road so that we do not have more accidents on the Embakasi Mlolongo Road?

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to ask the Minister to define âarid landsâ and tell us what amount of rainfall is expected in those areas. This is because some parts in the southern side of Mathioya are so dry that we even get food from areas like Kieni which is considered an arid land. Could he also indicate when Mathioya is going to benefit from some of these funds, so that our people do not die of hunger?

On a point of order, Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. How can the Minister say that, that is a different Question, yet he is here telling us about arid lands? Can he not explain what arid lands are all about? He should be able to tell us.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when the programme for the restoration of the Mau Forest was started, a task force was formed. One of the mandates of the task force was to define the cut-off points between the forest and the settlement areas. When is the task force going to publish that cut-off? Also, due to the destruction of the Mau Forest, a heavy burden has been placed on Mount Kenya and the Aberdares. Those are some of the main water towers for this country, which produce water for Nairobi and produce water for generation of electricity for this country. Could ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Minister has said that they provide dams on a need basis. Most of the areas, especially on the eastern side of the Aberdares are hidden, but they have got many rivers, which the people are not able to utilise because of the nature of the terrain in that area. When is she going to do a proper needs assessment in those areas, so that we can have dams built along River Mathioya?

Could the Assistant Minister tell this House what action he is taking to provide especially the DOs in various divisional headquarters with transport because an area like Mathioya District which has four divisions does not even have a single vehicle to be used by the DOs? Could he also indicate whether he is ready to provide an allowance so that they can hire vehicles to do patrols within the district?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Minister seems not to travel through that airport any more. There is no difference between the Departure Lounges and the Transit Lounge. Passengers from both lounges intermingle very freely. Is the Minister aware that the intermingling of transit and departure passengers poses a great risk to security at the airport?
