Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I had discussed with the hon. Member over this issue and he had informed me that the current situation is lack of communication facilities and transport. I want to assure him that, taking into account the distance between the station that he is proposing and the nearest station, which is over 100 kilometres away, it is logical that four or five officers be taken there as we make arrangements for the place to be able to accommodate more staff. We are going to consider that.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the position Mr. James Kamau Maina has mentioned is very correct, but I would like to appeal to hon. Members of this House that as they put up these facilities in the constituencies, they need to liaise with the Ministry because sometimes the capacity is not available to equip every police station or police post that is built using CDF money. It is true that there is that challenge---

Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am also a Member of Parliament for one constituency and I understand what is happening with CDF. Most of the capital projects that are going on are schools, health centres, dispensaries and police posts. If you look at the national level, there is a shortage of personnel in those three areas. There are not enough teachers, health personnel and police officers. So, to say that we do not have the capacity to equip every police post that is put up using CDF is not misleading this House.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I invite the hon. Member to my office, so that we can sit down and see what has been provided by other stakeholders and what is available from our side; we can have a partnership and ensure that the area is protected.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have heard what my colleague has said but I want to support this Motion. What hon. Nkaisserry has said is very valid and I would like to urge the Committee that next time they are analysing applications, they should consider one thing; there is no need of bringing two people from one county and say the whole region has been represented. It is also good to refer to those people who are representing that region in other commissions. That is because if you have about three commissions and the people representing, for instance, the entire ...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was talking about the second enormous responsibility of the Commission - the comprehensive registration of title deeds. I was saying that the Commission needs to initiate its own motion and really try to streamline title registration in this country, so that we do not see incidences like what we were seeing around Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) and the demolition of individual houses where Kenyans have invested along bypasses. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, there is the issue of historical injustices. I think if the Commission could read the recommendations of the Ndung’u ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I was just going through the Estimates as per the Appropriation Bill as read by the Minister. I was not really able to see any anomalies as far as the addition of figures is concerned. If you add the column on Appropriations-in- Aid, both Recurrent and Development, and you also add the column in net estimates both on Recurrent and Development, they will all total up to what is on the column on gross estimates, both Recurrent and Development.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, having said that, I think this is a very important Bill. I urge this House really to allow the Minister and pass it for the following reasons: Now that we are just starting the financial year, several institutions really are very critical and they need money for their daily operations and activities. We have commissions and independent offices that cannot wait to get money to start implementing and executing their duties as per the Constitution, as we get into the new financial year, which is just about four days away. Some of the commissions I ...
