Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me thank the Assistant Minister for coming up with that answer. However, I would like to point out that giving the constituencies equal amounts of money seems not to be fair. This is because Kieni is 1,556 square kilometres and is part of the Nyeri County. That means the rest of the constituencies in the same county make up only 1,345 square kilometres. I am talking about Tetu, Mukurweini, Othaya, Nyeri Town and Mathira constituencies. Now, if ---

Mr. Speaker, Sir, is there fairness in giving small constituencies the same amount of money as the very large ones? You can compare Lamu East Constituency and North Horr Constituency!

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not have another question but I would like to urge this House to in future amend this law so that the smaller constituents will get what is actually fit for them and the bigger constituencies get a bigger share considering the number of roads in such a constituency.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the Assistant Minister for answering this Question, although I am not satisfied. As you have heard, I have two DCs and one of them, Mr. Mohammed, is using a pick up to move around the constituency to do his work. Where on earth do DCs use pick-ups to go about their work? That is why I said that it is good that the Assistant Minister should give us a caravan to be used by the DC, Mr. Mohammed.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wanted the Assistant Minister to tell us how he can solve some of these problems. Kieni is so vast that one DO cannot cover it effectively. We need at least one more DO in Kieni East. I do not understand why we cannot have a DO as quickly as possible to assist the one who is there. He should also have a motor vehicle.
