Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member may not be in touch with the District Food Security Team. With regard to this particular Question concerning Murang'a South District, we have already given out 2,000 bags. We did not provide maize only.

I came prepared to answer his Question about Ekerenyo IDP Camp, and I have clearly stated that it was closed down on 11th September, 2008.
