On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On behalf of the Budget Committee, I would like to bring to the attention of the House the fact that the first quarter of the Fiscal Year 2010/2011 has come to an end. However, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, has not yet laid before the National Assembly the Compliance Report as envisaged under Section 14 of the Fiscal Management Act, 2009. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to seek your direction as to when the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance will make the Compliance Report available so ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, according to the calculations we made, it was actually supposed to be 25th of the previous month. However, we are willing to wait if they are preparing it. We will be quite happy to wait for the Report because we do not want to harass the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance.

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Minister in order, having asserted that the economic inputs of a road are critical in the valuation of what roads and what money is to be put towards the development of roads? Is it in order for him to communicate very lightly about a matter that is very heavy? People have slept on the road for two nights. Mothers and old parents have been in problems on that road because of this strike. What has the Minister done? Why has he not even gone down there to communicate ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on 17th August, 2010 the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance published in the Kenya Gazette the regulations establishing the Water Towers Conservation Fund whose main purpose was to support the restoration, conservation and sustainable management of the Mau Forest Complex and other water towers in Kenya. The question I want to ask the Prime Minister is: How much money was put into this Fund by the Government?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, again, I want to join those who said that the Assistant Minister has been doing a good job in the House in terms of answering Questions. In terms of disaster preparedness, what plans are there to set up disaster management centres on each susceptible county? In particular, there are counties like the Tana County, where we know for a fact that we have been susceptible to the seasonal flooding. While he is addressing that, can he tell us, in terms of the equipment that he has purchased, how many of these are going to be stationed ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, even where the contractors are able to drill the boreholes especially in Kilelengwani area of Kipini Division,Tana River County, there is a lot of salty water coming up. This has resulted into a lot of wastage. Has the Minister considered setting aside some money to do proper hydrological surveys and map the Tana River County? This is because we have a problem in that county. The assumption has been that since we have a river we are okay and yet we are not. We have huge areas which have problems. Has the Minister set aside some ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I hold a slightly different opinion; I want to commend the Assistant Minister for responding to public pressure. This is the way we want the Government to operate, and I think I appreciate that bit. We have heard a lot of complaints and not just this one. This one has been highlighted. What are the clear appeals procedures that exist within the military when someone feels aggrieved as in this situation? It seems even if she is to go back nothing is clear-cut. The decision you have taken is inconclusive; if it is vaginal bleeding, then ...
