Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would just like to comment on two things. One, we need to harness rain water. For this country to conduct irrigation effectively, we really need to target all the seasonal streams. We need to put money and spillways on those seasonal streams!

Secondly, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we must have equity. When you look at the distribution of resources, especially in Kajiado; you will see that Kajiado North has been given the lionâs share and yet, it is not even as dry as Kajiado Central. So, you need to look into that to ensure that equity prevails. If you lump all the money into Kajiado District without indicating precisely which goes to which district--- We now have two districts â Kajiado Central and Kajiado North.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, unfortunately, the current Speaker happens to be my Chairman. So, sorry Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. In seconding this very important Vote, we realize that this Ministry holds two important departments; the Department of Forests and the Department of Wildlife. It is important that we look critically at these two very important resources. As I speak now, I am in charge of several wildlife; elephants, buffaloes and lions which have run away from the Amboseli National Park and are now in a place called Maparasha catchment area. But the very unfortunate thing is that when ...

So, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is important that we do not politicize this issue of forested areas and we should not also, as a Government, be hard on the pastoralists as they graze in the national parks.
