Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have heard carefully as Members interrogate that statement. Mr. Ethuro talked about the issue of the Ministry having delayed appointment of lead agencies and, therefore, causing some areas to go without food.

I would like to disagree with that. The Ministry, indeed, went with speed and concluded this programme on time. Unfortunately, as expected, where there is interdependency, there are some places where out of the consultation process between the WFP and the Ministry, the process was seen not to have been followed as required. This affected only five districts. I want to report authoritatively here that those complaints have now been addressed. Indeed, we had a roundtable conference with Members of Parliament who come from those areas and this matter has now been concluded. Those districts are now on board with ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I and the hon. Member have been speaking the same language. We really discussed this matter and concluded it. You can see that the hon.

Having had an opportunity to read this Report, I want to state that I am actually concerned by the state of insecurity in this part of the region. Specifically, it is very disturbing when you realize that in a span of less than two years, you lose the lives of not less than 81 persons in a particular town, specifically Isiolo. This is a very sad situation and I think we are not ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I want to appeal to your good office that the part of the Report touching on the issue of the guns, especially about the Borana, be expunged from this report.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, first and foremost, I apologize for coming late into the House. I was caught up in a traffic jam at County Hall. You called out the Question just before I entered the Chamber.
