Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am pleading with hon. Members of Parliament, and a few months later, you will come to agree with me. The only country that will be sending troops, if we approve this Motion to Somalia, and shares a border with Somalia, will be Kenya. Right now, it is Burundi and Uganda, which do not share a border with Somalia. The only country that shares a border with Somalia and will be asked to contribute troops to Somalia is Kenya.

It is not a simple issue. Please, go to your arguments and do not try to make this a simple matter.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, mine is not a request but a follow-up. There are two Statements; one from the Treasury on Quarterly Budget Review. I do not know whether it is ready and if it is not, maybe the Minister can tell us when it will be ready.
