Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I had asked a Question on 28th on the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands Districts. If we really analyzed the ten arid districts, you will be surprised to know that the percentage is lower than this and this is a matter of concern. Since the Ministry has attempted to put in place some of these measures, I want to know from the Assistant Minister how much they pay the part time teachers so that they can effectively carry out teaching.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has said that the police have secured the University. Could he undertake to ensure that CCTVs are installed because the University compound and residential area are so large?

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to say that he is advising against a Question when it is the prerogative of the Chair to admit or not admit a Question? Is he really in order?

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true that the Assistant Minister has consulted me, but I want to bring to his attention that contrary to his assertion last week that the Ministry paid for the coffin, they did not do so. Secondly---

No, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am not asking the Question. I am just alerting him, so that before he comes back he cross-checks this thing. We were told by him last week that the Ministry paid Kshs20,000 to the family as assistance for the funeral, which is also not correct. So, I want the Assistant Minister to now cross-check this matter thoroughly. In addition, I am made to understand that this is not a case that involved the Al-Shabaab.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very disturbing situation and I hope the Chair of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has taken keen interest in this matter. However, could the Minister tell the House what was the initial estimated cost per kilometre compared to what we have now?

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister confirm that the officer had tear gas and handcuffs by virtue of his duty, when there was a riot in town and he was injured? He broke his legs and he was rushed to hospital, so in essence he could not return the items to the police station. Why would the Assistant Minister victimize him for that?

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. It looks like the Assistant Minister has misunderstood my question. I am saying he came into possession of those items by virtue of his duty and because there was a riot in town. He broke his legs and was, therefore, rushed to the hospital. Because of that, he was not able to deliver those items back to the station. Why would they dismiss him for that?
