Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue of rivers and streams drying up is a common phenomenon in this country. One of the contributing factors is the fact that the Ministry has failed to regulate the use of water through the Water Catchment Board. Could the Assistant Minister undertake to ensure that the Board does its job? This issue has arisen here several times. The Ministry keeps promising but nothing is being done.

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to avoid my question by answering what he knows and what he likes best? I know all the things he is saying about the environment. I know the Minister for Environment and Mineral Resources is next to him and is whispering to him but I am asking; bearing in mind that there is the issue of catchment areas which is not properly regulated, could the Assistant Minister undertake to ensure that the Board does its job?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am a bit lost about the answer given by the Minister because my Question was very specific. I know that the Minister is an expert at reading scripts! I do not know why, but I asked a Question about Isiolo-Modogashe Road, which the Minister knows as B9. The other road - you know it very well because it is in your constituency - is exactly the opposite of what we are talking about. Could the Minister be specific on what he is doing on the Isiolo-Modogashe Road?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is the most disappointing answer I have ever heard in this House. That is because in 2008, I was given another answer saying that, that road will costs Kshs8 billion. That figure has now nearly doubled and they have been negotiating ever since! They are negotiations - as Mr. Imanyara says - which do not end. Could the Minister take this matter very seriously because they have been tarmacking Class D roads when that Class B Road has not been attended to?

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. In view of the fact that the Chair has made a ruling and the Assistant Minister continues to defy the Chair, would I be in order to request that you apply Standing Order No.97 against this Assistant Minister?

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. While I respect your directive, the Minister, Leader of Government Business or whoever is responsible for the Executive has not even sent a word to the House or the Chair that they are away for one reason or the other. Will we let them take this House for a ride?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am very perturbed with the answer that has been given by the Assistant Minister. In the last Budget Speech made in this House, none other than the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, in part 52 of the Speech, made it very clear that this road has been funded during the 2009/2010 Financial Year. With your permission, I wish to read what it says. It says:- âWith regard to the development of Northern Kenya and other arid lands, we plan to undertake numerous interventions in the region. Key projects include the Isiolo- Modogashe-Garissa-Wajir Road at ...
