Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Assistant Minister must exercise due care when he makes public statements.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to support this Motion because this is a very important institution that we are trying to establish.

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to mislead the House that his hands are tied because of financial constraints when we know that the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) is one of the very liquid institutions?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, water is life. I realize that some money has been set aside to supply water, particularly in Ukambani where this is extremely important just like where I come from. The Assistant Minister says this project has not been completed because of the dispute on the ground. The Member, who is always there every week, says there is no dispute. Could he provide evidence to show that there is a disagreement, so that there is an aspect of accountability on the part of the performance of this Ministry?
