Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is not possible for me, at this point in time, to let the House know how much money is going to be committed because following the Question and, indeed, my intervention, the procurement process has just started. So, I do not have the amount involved at this point, but hopefully in another two weeks’ time before the commencement, I will contact him and indicate to him how much money will have been committed to the repair of the road and exactly what will be done.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I gave out information yesterday regarding security roads. For the benefit of the Member of Parliament, we have identified 176 security roads. Rough estimates were made amounting to Kshs500 million. The Treasury only allocated us Kshs100 million. It is one fifth of what we require. We are using that money to ensure that as many of those 171 roads are put in good condition.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a responsibility which I consider to be joint - it is our office and, indeed, this Parliament when it comes to the issue of allocation of funds. I have stated that we did not receive enough funds as we would like. An appeal has been made to the Treasury---

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the amount of money that we were given this financial year was not enough. We are hoping that in the revised estimates, some additional money is going to be allocated to us so that we can meet this need.

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware that the Government has imported 240 motor vehicles for the Kenya Police and 99 vehicles for the Administration Police, respectively. What I am, however, aware of is that Kenya Police Service raised orders with various dealers to supply the department with 267 motor vehicles and 200 motorcycles, some marked while others not marked with Kenya Police colours, depending on the operational requirements. I am also aware that the Government, on behalf of the Administration Police service, has locally procured 19 vehicles from last year’s financial allocation. ...

I think, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we dealt with the issue of Administration Police recruits last week. I believe it was satisfactorily dealt with. I do not see where the connection of the Administration Police recruits and the vehicles is. I have already indicated to the hon. Member that no vehicles are intended for any other purpose other than the official purpose. In fact, if the Minister was---

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we dealt with the issue of recruits satisfactorily last year. The issue we are dealing with here is with regard to motor vehicles; in fact, not motorcycles. The Question is specific to motor vehicles to be used by Administration Police not even the general police. It is just indicated that the vehicles for the general police have been procured and they are all painted with the colours of the Kenya Police. I have said here and I repeat that the motor vehicles I am aware of are only 19 which were procured last year and which ...
