The men and women in groups that have been trained so far are young. They are from the ages of 24 to 30 years. This is a tender age and they are parents. So, as far as the psychotherapy is concerned, I suggest that it is embedded in the training curriculum, so that young men and women are aware of the predicaments and challenges ahead of them.

The Petition has been brought here as a result of a deliberate pronouncement made by the Cabinet Secretary, Environment. A big number of these individuals are civil servants.

• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this important Bill. At the outset, I would like to thank Hon. Kamket for bringing this Bill so that we can articulate issues of development in ASAL districts of northern Kenya and intended purposes of this Bill. The Equalisation Fund was meant to correct the anomalies and disparities that existed in terms of development in the past Governments.

• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Bill gives a direction on how this Fund will be spent and how those projects will be monitored and identified. It gives a proper roadmap for this Bill. Thank you, Hon. Kamket for bringing this Bill which gives a specific direction on how this Fund will be utilised and how those projects will be implemented. There were projects which were identified in the first year. There was a disbursement for only one year. To date, those projects have not been completed and properly monitored. The impact has not been felt. In my constituency, there are ... view

• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: it will augment and support the NG-CDF which has made a serious and good impact for the people of this country. This Bill will be amended further to tailor it in the same way as NG-CDF.

It is only one physical year that there was disbursement of this money. Moving from one ministry to another to follow up on this money and monitor its utilisation has been very difficult for us. However, once this board is constituted, it will provide the necessary impetus for us to follow and the necessary development will be realised. view
