I wish to ask the Assistant Minister to confirm that the money, which was allocated for that purpose, which is Kshs400 million, shall be ring-fenced and not returned to the Treasury. The project has been delayed. I am happy you have already advertised for the tender to do a comprehensive design. So, could you confirm to this House that the money will not be returned to the Treasury?"}
