Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I want to congratulate our delegation that had gone for this meeting and for submitting the report. It is important that all Committees of the House or delegates from this House, once they go out they bring us feedback so that hon. Members are kept abreast with what is happening. As usual, delegates are supposed to come and report back. This is a good example. They have been very consistent and we should give them a pat on the back. These reports must be taken seriously because they involve several continents ...

In my seconding this Motion, I wanted to say that in future, depending on the agenda that is on the Table, the House needs to appoint a few other Members, particularly from the relevant Committees to accompany these delegations to such meetings so that they can pick up those issues and see how we can move forward. This will ensure that the information does not remain in this report but is taken up by the House Committees to maximize on the benefits of some of these meetings. It is, therefore, important that some of these matters are taken very seriously ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the Ministry got it wrong in terms of the policy. I want the Assistant Minister to explain why, given that Kenya had the competitive advantage--- Kenya as a country should have taken interest in producing for the rest of East Africa. That can be done best if the Ministry fully subsidized wheat farmers so that they are able, because, even the farmers in Europe are subsidized. Why could the Ministry not consider that option?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Question was first answered on 25th May, 2009. That is when that promise was made. Today is 6th July, 2010. It is more than 12 months down the line and the Ministry is still reviewing its policy and no firm decision has been made. In the meantime, I have lost an expectant mother. I think that was in the newspapers. She died because we were not able to pick her. Even this last weekend, when I was in the constituency, at a place called Garbatula, I had a similar incident, where we had to go ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Sericho is 150 kilometres away from the nearest district hospital. Given that this is a health centre, could the Minister consider looking around and sending a laboratory technician there, so that this health centre which is 150 kilometres away can be taken care of? There are others, probably, which are 10 kilometers away from each other and they have these facilities.

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have listened to the Minister very keenly and I am aware of the Question by Mr. Ochieng. He asked what criterion was used to retain Mr. Gicheha and dismiss the others. Is the Minister in order not to answer that question? He does not have the details here. Will I be in order to ask you to defer this Question so that he can bring the answer that the hon. Member has asked?
