Hon. Deputy Speaker, please, allow me to prosecute this case because we are suffering.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, we are having problems. I have problems in my constituency, because currently cases of children being chased away from school are very many. It all pertains to this issue. Schools are considered low-boarding schools but they do not get funding. That is the problem. The population keeps on increasing in those schools with no commensurate increase in funding. I have just been told that there is no likelihood of the schools being funded in the current financial year.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am satisfied. Therefore, I need to be given a better response to the Statement request.

On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. I feel that my Statement has been trivialized in the manner in which it has been addressed by the Chair, and even through some of the interjections that have been given by other hon. Members. We are talking here of a grave matter and I was not invited to meet the CS. I know I will not be called because the Chair has not given the direction that this Statement be re-done, so that I can be in a position to interrogate further those who are in the know. As regards the ...

Thank you, Temporary Deputy Speaker. May I also thank the Chair of the Committee on Environment and Natural Resources for the answer she has given. The clarification I am standing to seek is on the first section of the Statement where there was supposed to be drilling and then equipping of the borehole at Lotikipi. As we speak, I do not know whether the Chair is aware that there is no work going on although I am being told that there is work going on. The pastoralists who reside around that area have already gone into South Sudan seeking water ...

It is good to give clear names because we do not want this wrong naming. They distort the names of the areas making them sound like they are different places altogether. There is Kachoda and not Kechoda and those are spellings that need to be clear. If they exist in the books ---

Please indulge me because these are mistakes in writing of the names and not in the reading. It is not a problem of the Chairperson who was reading because she is reading what has been written and it is wrong. There are disputes about names in this county and so, it is good to clarify so that as we go forward. We know the names and the places we are describing.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you know when I was trying to develop my second point of clarification, you actually shut me down. There are two concerns. There is that of equipping the boreholes and I will wait for the answer as the Chair has said. There is the issue of the testing of that water to find out whether it is fit for human consumption. At first, we were told the water is good and it can be used by people and then, along the way, and which I suspect could be the reason why it is taking too long ...
