Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am sorry for that mix-up. I was waiting to speak to this. I support the Kenya Roads Board (Amendment) Bill.

I was with him at lunch hour and he promised to give an answer today. I do not know why he ran away before addressing it. I had informed him that I was going to raise the matter with you.
