Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Assistant Minister is very categorical that on the issue of security, he has handled well. However, he is not sure about the information that he has been given by the Ministry of Education. I would request your indulgence to allow the Ministry of Education because this matter is seriously disputed. I am speaking based on facts, so that they could come here and clarify and substantiate and tell all and sundry that these are the persons who collected the money. This is what has been done, so that the details are tabled here because the ...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I agree with the hon. Member that this is a very needy area. I drive there very frequently on my way to Isiolo. The purpose of this Question is to hold the Executive accountable. From the kind of statement that the Minister has given us, it looks as though liaising and co-ordinating among the Executive takes a long time. Will I be in order to ask that this question be deferred until the Minister meets her counterpart and the relevant directors, so that she can come back with something concrete given that ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I had the opportunity to visit some of those sites far much earlier. I have similar problems in my constituency. Given that the communities have not been consulted and these consultations, the way we know them in this country, could also mean concurrence, would I be in order to consider the letter as an authorized resumption to be a nullity given that consultations have not taken place?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support the Motion and congratulate the Committee for a job well done. The biggest challenge in Africa now is elections. Every election in this continent raises eyebrows all over the world. It is for this reason that this Commission must be seen to be transparent. It is not only about the Commissioners, but we must conduct ourselves properly. The whole country must conduct itself in a manner that is likely to bring justice and harmony. So, let us not transfer the whole responsibility to the Commissioners, but we must take up this responsibility. ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, from the additional information that the Assistant Minister gave, it appears like this Ministry is tired of these Questions. What I have here includes, among other things, Free Primary Education (FPE) funds, the bank accounts of all the schools, the Economic Stimulus Package and everything else that the Ministry has done in this country. This shows that the Ministry is incapable of attending to this Question. My Question is very specific. I asked the Question because girl-child education is very important, particularly so in the ASAL areas. The answers that we have been given are all ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister thinks that he has done very well on this Question. He has given this House the bank accounts of all the schools in upper Eastern where they disbursed free primary education funds. How useful is that with this Question?

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Minister seems to have allocated himself time when he will answer the Question. I thought it is the responsibility of the Chair to do so.

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to mislead the House that because the Minister and the Permanent Secretary, who is the Accounting Officer, are not around, the Ministry cannot run yet, even if he went beyond that, those approvals can normally be obtained through an email?
