asked the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance:- (a) why, given the Government policy of bringing services closer to the people by creating new districts, the Government has not extended the same policy to KRA by creating offices in towns like Kitale, Kapenguria and Lodwar in order to avoid the inconvenience for the residents who have to travel up to Eldoret for the services; and, (b) when the Government will open such offices.

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also wish to support this Motion. Indeed, looking at the allocation of about Kshs27 billion to this very crucial Ministry compared to what had been requested - over Kshs36 billion, it is not adequate to provide and fund this vital Ministry.

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Since the Assistant Minister has indicated that this is a cross-cutting issue touching on several Ministries, could the matter be referred to the Office of the Prime Minister, so that it can be given the seriousness it deserves and the good people of Mwea are protected?
