Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I sincerely want to thank the Assistant Minister for the good answer that he has given and also for the actions that he intends to take.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, before I ask my last question, I want to confirm to the Assistant Minister that initially, this Question was directed to the Ministry of Medical Services and a list of the members of the management committee was actually attached to the Question. So, he should be able to get it from the sister Ministry. He has said that he has not been able to upgrade this health centre to sub-district hospital status because of inadequate physical facilities. We have male and female wards and the CDF is constructing a maternity wing. This facility is situated ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is not the first time that we are raising issues about the atrocities committed against Kenyans in that area. Every other time the Government has denied this. In this particular case, the Samburu pastoralists who are based in that area know the boundaries of the military training area just as the Government does. We know for sure that they have now gone beyond the gazetted military training area. Why should the Government allow the British soldiers to go outside military training area and harass the pastoralists? These are difficult times for those people. They ...
