Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do appreciate the fact that the distances covered in Chalbi are too long. Actually, I have said that the transport money for Chalbi should be scaled up.

The scaling up has been done, but I am still not happy with it. I do believe that Chalbi and Laisamis districts deserve more for transportation because of the long distances covered.

As for the amount of food given to Laisamis, yes, the population is bigger and they deserve to be given more because of the poverty levels which are there. So, again, I promise that we are going to look into that and make sure that the situation is corrected.
