Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Generally, the matter of voter registration was before my Committee this morning and we deliberated on it, but the subject of the Statement was not raised before us by that time. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor.

Hon. Speaker, we adjourned the meeting to Tuesday and I think two weeks will be adequate for us to discuss Kiambaa and other areas and then issue a Statement. We are going to issue a comprehensive response. There will be more registration because that is not the final one. We have to issue a comprehensive Statement surrounding the entire exercise of voter registration. Therefore, Kiambaa and other parts of Kenya will be subject of that Statement. Two weeks will be enough. Thank you, Hon. Speaker.

I am not comfortable because this is not the end of voter registration. There are a lot of anomalies in the exercise to date and we shall be asking the IEBC to extend the period or gazette another extension. We will issue a Statement in two weeks.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. A few matters emerge from the Statement by the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. I would straight away say that we will interact with the Attorney-General urgently. I want to remind the House that the Attorney-General is just a conduit. The funding for compensation goes to the principal ministries, in this case the Office of the President. He would not be able to disburse the funds, unless the funds are passed specifically per case to him. He does not let the funds stay with him as soon they are brought to him. They are ...

Hon. Speaker, my committee has not been lethargic. We have been fairly active. This matter has delayed because of the exigence of time. It is going to be dealt with. We have identified the public trustee as a stakeholder who had been omitted.
