Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Chair recalls that I had submitted a certified copy of the original summons from the High Court. This matter was deferred because the Minister was not here. Since I have submitted all the required documents to show these were genuine court order summons, would I be in order to appeal to the Assistant Minister through the Chair to withdraw the police officers in the farm to enable my people enjoy their Christmas holidays without any problem?

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister should not take us back. I said that the first summons was served from 22nd and they were to expire on 24th. It is for the same reasons that on 23rd, even before the expiry of the court orders, the police moved in and evicted those pastoralists. It is for the same reasons that lawyers went back to the High Court and were given court order on 25th. That was when they served the Provincial Administration and the AP Commandant. I have tabled the certified copies from the ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, to show that there are disparities in the allocation of resources in Wajir County, I would like to draw the attention of the Assistant Minister to the 2010/2011 Financial Year. Out of Kshs64 million allocated to Wajir County, Kshs40 million went to Wajir East where the Minister comes from while Wajir South got a meagre Kshs900,000. Is the Assistant Minister telling us that Wajir East has more problems than Wajir South? Could he explain that disparity? What does the Minister want to show the rest of the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASAL) areas if that ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if an affirmative action is one of the criteria used in the admission of students to medical training colleges, which I believe takes care of the marginalized communities, how come the number of students from the marginalized communities is still low?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to inform the Minister that when Maralal Urban Council, as it was called then was created portions of land from neighbouring group ranches were drawn together to form urban council. In 1989 when His Excellency the President visited Samburu there was a request from Samburu leaders. I have a copy of a letter addressed to the Director of Lands, and copied to the Minister for Local Government. I just want to cite two issues. In 1989

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the Minister should come out clearly. I have cited three group ranches whose urban parcels of land have been returned as a result of the request made by the Samburu leaders to His Excellency the President; why can the Ministry not do the same thing with the Ledero Group Ranch? That is simple!

(ii) State the circumstances under which these elephants were killed in an area patrolled by Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) and Northern Range Land Trust Rangers. (iii) Quantify the financial loss and its implication on tourism. (iv) Does Northern Range Land Trust have the capacity to protect wildlife ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in his Ministerial Statement, the Assistant Minister said that amongst those who were arrested in the swoop were Ethiopians and Somali people, whom I believe are aliens. This is an indication that during the swoop that was carried out by the police, there were many others who, probably, slipped through. What arrangements has he put in place to ensure that aliens do not make Kenya a transit point? Some of them must have gone to other countries through Kenya without being noticed. Secondly, he said that the explosions were planned earlier. How come the criminals ...
