and these officers met their death while on duty. The chartered aircraft was on its own mission of collecting examination papers. It transported the body from Mandera while on its route. Why did the Ministry find it appropriate to use an aircraft which was on its own mission of collecting examination papers as opposed to being sensitive and bringing the body directly to Merti?

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to evade answering the question? The hon. Member asked very clearly: If that is the case, what time did the aircraft leave Mandera and at what time was it in Nanyuki? Could he answer this very straightforward question!

Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is the sensitivity of this matter. As human beings, we do not seem to have urgently addressed that issue. These officers were killed by enemies of this country while on duty. Special attention ought to have been given. I thought the Ministry was quite insensitive because it happened more than 24 hours later.

He asked about the cheque - I cannot remember the exact figure - on pension which the retiree has not received. Can the Minister confirm whether the retiree has received it? If, yes, then he should give the cheque number and when he actually did receive it.

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is not a joint operation of the two Committees. This is a specific select committee which has accommodated the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. Therefore, the hon. Member is misleading the House.
