Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Minister has said that Igembe North and Igembe South were one district, but for the last two years, Igembe South has had its own recruiting centre, which is Maua, and Igembe North at Lare. Why should he recruit somebody from another district which has its own recruiting centre?

On a point or order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I had raised a Question by Private Notice last week. It is on the army recruitment and the people reported yesterday. I have a case that has been proven; two people who were recruited in my district did not come from there.

asked the Minister for Roads:- (a) why he has not commenced the works to rehabilitate the Maili Tatu-Lare Road (E817 and D486) to motorable standard despite a commitment made by the Minster in October 2008; and (b) when the works will commence.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the Minister for the answer that he has given. I think the import of this Question was because of the delay in carrying out the promise that the Minister made in 2008. What I want from the Minister now is a real reassurance, because the constituents have waited for a long time, that come the end of this year, the contractor will come to site.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, he has already assured the House that the Maili Tatu â Lare â Mutuati Road will be tendered for this year. Now that the Minister has given that assurance, I want him to confirm that he can come to commission the road when the contractor comes on site.

asked the Minister for Regional Development Authorities:- (a) to provide a list of the projects the Ministry has funded in Igembe North and Tigania East Constituencies under the Africa Development Bank (ADB)/Ewaso Ngâiro North Natural Resources Conservation Programme and indicate which among them is incomplete/abandoned; and, (b) when the Ministry will complete the abandoned projects and what other projects are planned under the programme in the two constituencies for the 2010/2011 financial year?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Minister has given an answer which does not reflect the situation on the ground. Even some of the project names he has given do not belong to the two constituencies. Igembe North and Tigania constituencies are ASAL areas due to the nature of their climate. There is scarcity of water and, therefore, issues of boreholes and water pans are very crucial. What the Minister has read out as completed projects have been abandoned. These are projects which started in the year 2003. The essence of having regional development authorities is to fast-track development in those areas. ...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The projects that the Minister has named are not in Tigania East or Igembe North. For example, Soten is neither in Igembe North nor Tigania East. Mariara is also neither in Igembe North nor Tigania East. Limbine is neither in Tigania East nor Igembe North. Akithi is also not in Tigania East or Igembe North. So, could the Minister do his homework properly and answer the Question?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Minister has not really answered this Question because the projects that he has mentioned do not belong to the constituencies that I asked. I was very specific. The Ministry of Regional Development under which Uwaso Nyiro North falls has been allocated Kshs2.3 billion this year for projects. Could the Minister tell us the projects that will be undertaken and in which district within the river basin? Could he also tell us how much each will cost?
