Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to talk on civic and voter education. It is important that the Government comes up with a mechanism to conduct civic and voter education and more specifically given that there are areas particularly in northern Kenya where people do not have the opportunity to get information either through the print and electronic media. I think it is important that the Government comes up with ways to actually educate people on the new Constitution.

We appreciate that the Government is resettling the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) but my concern is that the Government seems to be focusing on those people who were displaced as a result of the post-election violence and those who had been evicted from Mau Forest and other forests like Embobut in Elgeyo Marakwet and forgetting our people who were also displaced as a result of inter-community conflicts like what happened in Laikipia. Because of their culture, some of these people like the Pokots and Samburus do not stay in the camps but they regroup and go to other areas or ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I acknowledge that there are 24 million Kenyans with mobile telephones, it is also important to know - I think the issue has come up on the Floor of the House - that there are areas without mobile network. This is particularly important in areas where we have got this problem of cattle rustling because when we have the District Peace Committee that has been established by the Government to assist security personnel to bring about peace and reconciliation among the neighbouring communities, sometimes it becomes difficult even for people to communicate with security agents ...

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the destruction of bridges by heavy rains is not peculiar to Nyakach Constituency only. This is a common problem in the country and more, specifically, in my area - Samburu East. The only bridge - Seiya Bridge - that connects the two constituencies has collapsed. What plans does the Ministry have to reconstruct all the bridges that have been destroyed by heavy rains?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to believe that the Assistant Minister is aware that this road was in the development plan for the financial year 2010/2011. How come that it is still at the designing stage?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister says that they considered one school per constituency. Could he tell us the progress that has been made by the schools that entered into this contract?

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have just seen the list that has been tabled by the Assistant Minister. He has said that they considered one school per constituency. I have looked at the Samburu County and the three schools that have benefited from this project are all from Samburu West. What happens to Samburu East? Is he in order to mislead the House? Could he go back and bring proper information?
