Joseph Mwai, Ministry of Defence; and Capt. Andrew Nyawade, Ministry of Defence. Hon. Speaker, as you can see, this Committee did a very good job. Unfortunately the Report was tabled on the Floor of this House but it could not be discussed because Parliament was breaking for elections. Therefore, I would like to humbly ask for your guidance and direction on how we can re-table this very important Report in order for this House to debate it and make a resolution on the way forward. I am particularly concerned because the station is currently being management without any agreement. If an agreement is entered into without this House giving the go-ahead, there is the possibility that the centre could be managed through an agreement that is not approved by this House as required by the Constitution. Therefore, I beseech you to make a very positive direction on this matter, so that I can re-table the Report. Thank you very much."}
