A lot of money for HIV/AIDS was put under the Ministry of Health. We just needed some little money to keep us running until we get more funds. I am sorry that we did not get enough and I got Kshs2 billion for disaster management ... view

Members said previously about the railway network because that also contributes to the problem because we need a proper transport system to ensure the food is quickly sent to these areas. In the area he is talking about, the problem has to do 2534 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES August 2, 2006 with logistics in terms of the transportation costs and I think that has been a big challenge for this Government.
