Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Assistant Minister is normally a very straightforward person. Today, I do not know why he has taken too long to answer this simple Question, given that he also participates in these negotiations. He is a member of EALA on behalf of the Ministry. But having said that, this Question is No.766 and you can see that I asked it a long time ago. Most of these workshops were held after I had asked this Question. Coming to the point, I find the manner in which this Question has been attended to a little bit casual. ...

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, you can see that some of these Acts were passed in 2006/2007 yet Parliament was briefed through round tables far much later. In future, could the Assistant Minister undertake to bring the reports or Acts of Parliament to this House for debate or information before it is too late?

Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I do agree with the Members that it is important to have the details because they say that the devil is in the details. This is meant to help even the Minister to confirm for herself that what she is being told is correct. So, I request that the Minister provides the information the way it has been requested. This is because the way it is now, it is lumped together and it will not be of any use to us, or it will be of less use to us.

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Thank you for your indulgence. In the first instance, this Question is about ASAL areas, and so it is not about hon. Duale and belongs to the House. So, the Minister is supposed to provide at least 15 copies to the House, so that Members can acquaint themselves with the answer.

Yes, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is the Minister in order to restrict the Question to 2011 when part “b” of the Question asks for a list of water projects started under the drought intervention programme?
