Hon. Speaker, my Question is to the Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury and Planning.

At the outset, I would like to remind the Government that it needs to carry out an audit on the system of mitigating issues related to hunger. It must also touch on planning because food is a matter of security in any country. I am happy that the census exercise will be carried out this year. We want, through the national census, to determine a projection of how many people face starvation from this year, next year and the year after.

He is a public figure. The cause of all this, I want to tell my friend, Hon. Washiali, is corruption. We have Kshs160 billion that was spent on dams, but there is no single dam that is complete.

These are issues that touch on corruption. These are dams that could have provided water for irrigation in order to enhance food security in the country.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, just for information, I have been charged under the Penal Code and not under the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act. The people talking here defending the dams have the money of the dams in their stomachs!
