Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Recently, we heard a case where AK 47 guns were found in a hostel in the University of Nairobi. We have also been following cases of prostitution from students who have to make ends meet. Does the Assistant Minister not think we are over-exposing these students to such a dangerous living?

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have a feeling that the Assistant Minister has not got the spirit of what I have asked.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was not questioning the availability of guns, but I was just asking about the trend. This is because of the small amounts he gave under the HELB loans that have exposed our students to thuggery and prostitution in order to make ends meet. It is not that I want to accuse someone for not discovering guns in hostels, but just the exposure we are putting our students through because they have to make ends meet as a result of the low amounts we give them through HELB.

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, from the answer, the Assistant Minister has indicated that Mumias Sugar Company is one of the companies that has benefited from carbon credits because it is producing power from baggasse. Mr. Assistant Minister, you know that baggasse is a by-product of cane. What measures have you put in place to make sure that farmers who produce cane also benefit from the carbon credits?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to take this opportunity to thank the Assistant Minister for the answer. However, from the answer you can tell that there is something amiss on the operations of this grader. How would the Assistant Minister expect a grader which is in serviceable condition to only work on 19 roads in two financial years if there is no problem with the management of this grader?
