Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, once again, I want to reiterate my earlier statement that the measures that the Minister has taken are largely well thought through; and to a larger extent, he thought big as he should, given the current stage of our economic development. However, he then suddenly, as Prof. Anyang-Nyong'o said, started fiddling with small ideas instead of consistently thinking big, like I know he is capable of. Let us take, once, again, the issue of the relief on the Sugar Development Levy (SDL) on imported industrial sugar. The Minister is encouraging importation of industrial sugar by ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a Question that is obviously provocative!

Mr. Speaker, Sir, Ruma Location and Central Division are in Gwassi Constituency. There is no dispute, whatsoever, that exists on that land. In any case, if there was any dispute, we have mechanisms at the local level where such disputes could be addressed. Mr. Speaker, Sir, is it in order for my neighbour to bring a Question such as this one, without bringing it up at the DDC where it can be resolved if there is truly any conflict?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, is it really in order for Mr. Kajwang to mislead this House? We all have little problems in our constituencies. We, sometimes, look for sympathy votes. But trying to generate inter-clan conflicts and animosity is not the best way to win votes. Ruma Location is settled by various clans from all over the place, including the original Suba community. They exist in that location. But by merely transferring Lambwe Division will not solve the issue! The Suba people in Ruma Location will also complain!

Mr. Speaker, Sir, what measures has the Government put in place to ensure that these lotteries are not used for money-laundering purposes?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, during the Budget Speech and immediately thereafter, the impression I had is that this is a well thought-through Budget. I still think that it was a well thought-through Budget, but with an eye on the desired outcome of the forthcoming general elections. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, nevertheless, Kenyans have a life beyond the general elections. I would have expected the Minister to consider other things that would have very fundamental impacts on the lives of Kenyans, especially now that the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) has been replaced by another fundamental paper called Vision 2030.
