Let me proceed to give the specific answers. To respond to the Question by Hon. Nzambia, part one, on the criteria used to gazette Nzai Sub-Location in Makueni Constituency, as part of the Ministry's mandate to enhance service delivery and bring Government service closer to the people, the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration, through Gazette Notice No. 17 of 2024, gazetted several administrative units across the country, including Nzai Sub-Location. However, the gazettement of Nzai Sub-Location has since raised concerns regarding its correct placement and administrative alignment, specifically whether it falls under Nzai Sub-County or Mukaa Sub-County.

hand, Sotik and Kabongoi locations were operationalised in 2020. As such, only Bararget location is pending operationalisation among the administrative units referenced. The delay in fully operationalising these units is primarily attributed to logistical and financial constraints. The Ministry has yet to receive the necessary budgetary allocation to operationalise all the gazetted administrative units. Once funds are appropriated, the Ministry is committed to fully operationalising these units. Regarding the measures in place to ensure the units are fully operational, the Ministry has initiated engagement with the National Treasury to secure the required funding to operationalise the gazetted administrative units. Once ...

Formal inauguration ceremonies will be held in the newly operationalised units. Full administrative functionality of the sub-counties is expected by July 2025 for the ones earmarked for this financial year. That answers the Question by Hon. Bashir. I have a date with him to visit Mandera County, particularly his constituency. In conclusion, the Ministry remains fully committed to strengthening national Government coordination and improving access to services through the timely operationalisation of administrative units. We recognise the importance of these structures in enhancing security, public service delivery and citizen participation. I request this House that when the budget for the ...

that issue. You remember that politicians had tried to use gangs in Matungu Constituency to cause havoc. As a result of our security operations in the last few weeks, there is calm in that part of the country. There was also a resurgence of gangs in Trans Nzoia County, where local politicians were trying to recruit young boys to those gangs. Specifically, with regard to the Panga Boys in the Coast region, I want to thank the Regional Police Commander, Mr Nuno, the Regional Commissioner and his team for the work they have done to round up all those boys ...

when the security team was covering various parts of the Coast region during the celebrations because of the large population. When food was being distributed in Mombasa, some of those boys came to various parts of Mombasa. On their way, one tourist was attacked and bruised, and their phone was stolen. Luckily, none of them were seriously injured. Investigations are ongoing to ensure that we arrest the culprits. Three cruise ships have docked in Mombasa in the last three months, and tourists have been properly facilitated. No incidents occurred. There was a lapse in procedure in this case. We ask ...

Hon. Speaker, I will try as fast as possible as requested. Hon. Robert Basil asked about the omitted administrative units in Yatta. I wish to state the following: In 2017, the Ministry gazetted the following administrative units in Yatta sub- county. They are locations like Kyua, Syokisinga, Mekilingi, Matingau and Kiteuni. The sub- locations were Kyua, Ididini, Kwandolo, Liani, Kaliani, Ngumbulu, Gangani, Kikesa and Kithito.

I am aware that the residents had initiated the process of creation of administrative units in Yatta sub-county. However, the Ministry received a Petition from a section of the residents of Ikombe division on 29th January 2024, challenging the process of subdivision of administrative units. The petitioners alleged that the process was not participatory nor inclusive. As a result, that issue is being dealt with. We will embark on operationalisation as soon as we dispense with the petition.
