Considering that this is a serious matter and we are experiencing a severe drought in Samburu East, considering that we are particularly concerned that the food distribution in the district is irregular, I think it would be important for the Assistant Minister to answer the Question this afternoon.

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minsiter in order to continue misleading the House? If you look at the breakdown of the AP recruitment from the NYS, you will realise that some districts have 50 recruits whereas others have got one or none? For example, Samburu has only four. Is it justified to continue recruiting AP recruits from NYS instead of getting them directly from the districts? This is unfair to some districts.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, while we appreciate the initiative taken by the Ministry, could the Minister consider that districts which have sold their animals can be allowed to sell for the second time because the impact is too little, considering the number of animals that have already been sold?

asked the Minister for Labour:- (a) why the former employees of Block Hotels from Samburu and Larsens Lodges in Samburu East District have not been paid their terminal benefits after the company was placed under receivership between 2003 and 2004; and, (b) whether he could state what measures he has instituted to ensure that the employees are paid all their dues, including at least three monthsâ salary in lieu of notice, indicating how soon the payment will be made.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I do appreciate the answer given by the Assistant Minister, it is important to note that since 2004 when the matter went to court, nothing has happened. It has taken more than five years now. Secondly, that hotel has already changed hands. It is now under new management meaning that it has been sold. Samburu Lodge and Larsens have been sold to Wilderness Lodges. Why can the Government not step in and assist these employees who were improperly terminated from employment without notice?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not think that answer is really satisfactory. I need the indulgence of this House. These employees have been paying statutory dues like co-operative dues. They have also had statutory deductions like the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) and NHIF. Why can these funds not be refunded to them, so that they can take care of their families?
