Sirat, the Member for Lagdera has requested that because this Question touches on his constituency, he be present when it is being asked. He would like to prosecute some aspects of the Question. What do you have to say to that? He requested the same and we agreed. This is the second time the Question is. Except that the Deputy Speaker is actually away on official duties that he had not foreseen. In those circumstances, would you not like to give him a further opportunity?
No, No, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is very unfair to my constituency. It is very unfair to his constituency. This is a border dispute and it should be resolved. Affey, you are also bordering this and I think you have an interest. What do you have to say?
Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you might very well understand that this Question was preceded by a Ministerial Statement. It is true that there is an apparent dispute between Garissa County and Wajir County, and between Lagdera and Wajir South, which has led to the death of an old man and displacement of several people Order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a deliberate attempt by the Member for Lagdera to delay this matter and, therefore, it is important that since the Minister has the answer, he should instruct the Provincial Commissioner of North Eastern Province to direct his District Commissioners and we shall get peace there.
As long as the Deputy Speaker is interested, this Question will never see the light of day. It is a deliberate attempt to create chaos between the communities in Wajir and Garissa. We already have the answer.
I request the Minister to direct the Provincial Commissioner, North Eastern, to sort out the dispute between the two constituencies.
