Metropolis is to extend the boundaries, maybe by 50 kilometres or up to Machakos, but not converting Yatta and Mbooni into Nairobi Metropolis. We are not serious!

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to talk about Mombasa Road. I hope the Ministry of Roads will have the opportunity to visit Mombasa Road. I was there this Saturday and it took me three hours from Mlolongo to Machakos Junction. The diversion is not maintained and the traffic congestion is too much. It is unforgivable! The Minister must move to the site. That issue has come to this House before. We are actually punishing those people. That is the lifeline of this country and also the neighbouring countries.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) Board has turned into another animal, if you want money from it. The Board has converted itself into the Executive. If I want money now, I am told the Board will sit next month. If there is an emergency in my constituency, I am told that I have to wait until the Board meets.

(b) Could the Minister also explain why untrained A-level teachers, who underwent a two weeks induction course in 1996 to be promoted to SI status have continuously been promoted while trained A-level holder PI teachers have been ignored?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister is talking about the year 2003/2004. I am talking about the current situation. We have over 7,000 A-level teachers who went through teachers training colleges, where they were trained for two years. At the same time, the Government upgraded A-level teachers who had not gone for the two-year course. I have a letter from the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT). There is no dispute in as far as this issue is concerned. With your permission, I want to table the letter.
