On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. From the list that the Assistant Minister has just read out of the 11 slots that were allocated to the district, only two are indigenous. Could he explain the discrepancy?

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister has said that they realized that there was a problem after the recruitment was done. But I want to confirm to this House that, when I personally went to see the Minister when the recruitment was still going on, he promised to carry out investigations and take the necessary action. So, I reported this matter before the recruitment ended. Could the Assistant Minister table the findings of his investigations and tell the House what actions he took after that?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has just confirmed that there was an anomaly in the recruitment of officers in Narok South. The only thing he is doing is assuring us that, in future, that is not going to happen. There are some people outside there who lost unfairly. Could he tell this House what he is going to do about those who lost unfairly because of the anomaly that occurred due to the negligence of his recruiting officers?

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Minister has said before this House that there was a mistake. We are talking about equitable distribution of resources and fairness in this country. There are people who lost out unfairly. Would I be in order to ask the Assistant to go back and do enough investigation on this matter because I still think that some people lost unfairly? So, when he says that people have already been recruited, I want to request that this Question be given the necessary seriousness that it deserves so that as for those who ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the Minister for the answer she has given. However, from her answer, it appears as if the Kshs10 million that was raised by Members of Parliament was used to resettle the IDPs in Uasin Gishu and Molo only. I have IDPs at Emoljoi who were supposed to be resettled in my constituency. Those IDPs

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Arising from the answer given by the Minister, she admits that some money meant for resettling IDPs was spent for other purposes. Could she tell us what other purposes this money was spent on?

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. When money is given out for a specific purpose and the Government gives out instructions, is it in order, since someone belongs to a family, to spend that money for purposes other than what was intended?

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. First of all, I want to say that I support the Motion on the Presidentâs Address. It is unfortunate that I am coming immediately after my colleague, who stood up here to very clearly demonstrate the problems facing this country. As I said, I support this Motion. The Presidentâs Address, to me, is actually normal routine business for the Government. He fell short, at it was earlier said, of addressing the many challenges that are facing this country. It was said earlier that the Speech of the President could not have come at a ...
