On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I do not think it is in order for Mr. Kimunya to mislead this House by saying that the point of departure was the definition of "sale".

There are very clear procedures for accessing either loans or grants from the World Bank. This falls squarely within the province of the Ministry of Finance. We know what those procedures are.

I would like the Minister to clarify the following to this House: The imports of oil either in crude or finished form will be stored by the Kenya Petroleum Refinery or Kenya Pipeline Company, respectively. We have never had a problem with the Kenya Petroleum Refinery storage arrangement, because we have an independent surveyor who actually verifies. He is an independent external auditor. But in the case of the Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC), we do not have that. Obviously, this problem was anticipated and it was going to come. Could the Minister assure this House that such an independent auditor ...

Number 1(b), the collateral financial arrangement or agreement is between the KPC, supplier or importer and the financiers. Those are all the stakeholders in the collateral financial agreement. What measures is the Ministry of Energy putting in place to ensure that if there is a future collateral financial agreement, the Ministry gets directly involved and becomes the overall superintendent, to ensure that the KPC which falls under it, is doing what it is supposed to do? In fact, I am saying the Ministry of Energy was negligent and it cannot escape blame. This is because---
