Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when the Assistant Minister was responding to the Question, he said that one of the programmes that the Government has is to educate wananchi on changing their ways of life. That sounds very vague because we do not know what causes cancer and what ways we are supposed to change. What specific ways are we supposed to change, so that we do not get into this problem of cancer every day? When you say that you are putting up posters advising people to change their ways of life, what will a poor man do, who has ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Ladies who want their husbands’ names to be included in their identity cards have also been charged a lot of money to do that and they are being frustrated. Could the Minister confirm that they are also exempted from any fees when they are applying for the names of their husbands’ to be included in their identity cards?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has accepted that there is no water in Molo and said that he expects to have a supply of the commodity in about another two weeks’ time or so. What immediate action is he going to take to make sure that people in Molo town get drinking water immediately? Waiting for another two or three weeks, or a month, will create a lot of problems around that town.

Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I stand to support the Appropriation Bill with the amendments that have been tabled by the Minister. As I do that, let me say that the concerns that are being raised by hon. Members are very important. It is high time the Government realized that this is not a Government of a few people; rather it is the Government of the people. The Constitution states very strictly and clearly about public participation and respect for the Committees. We wish to commend the Minister for Finance, hon. Githae.

Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, as I sit down, it is good to follow up and ensure that what we have recommended here is implemented. This is because there are projects which have been put in the Budget from 2009, yet up to now they have never been implemented.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, counting people is not allowed in our tradition. We only count goats. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support this Motion but only with a few comments. Every one of us here has stood to say that they are very impressed by the commitment made by the Minister for Finance that the proposals and recommendations of the Budget Committee will be considered. However, if we all listened, the Minister put in some reservations because of some recommendations that had been made. Therefore, I am not very sure that what the Minister said will be ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The problem that is in hon. Ruteere’s Constituency still persists in Mathira. Could the Assistant Minister confirm that all the dispensaries built under the Economic Stimulus Programme (ESP) will be operational by next month, now that he has already procured the equipment that is required?

Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I think when fuel prices are going down in the world, in Kenya, it is the reverse. I believe that when the ERC was formed, it was also to stabilize the fuel prices, so that we remove the uncertainty of doing business in this country. What action is the
