Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me tell you something. There is a rip-off in these markets and that is why the Ministry keeps on going round. Nearly 85 per cent of the markets have not been put up, yet the Treasury has released the money to the Ministry of Local Government. Can you allow the Committee on Local Government and Funds Accounts to investigate the scam which involves these particular markets?

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have, on several occasions, put requests for transformers but we have been told that they are not sufficient. In my constituency, we demanded about ten transformers but the KPLC has not been able to provide them for the last one year. Could the Assistant Minister now confirm that the transformers are available, and that they will proceed to install them in my constituency and in other places as promised?

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Minister was here yesterday on a similar Question from another constituency. According to me, this is an attempt by him to evade answering Questions in this House, especially Questions relating to fresh goods markets.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, security is very important and I think the Government is not taking its responsibility very seriously. I do not think the solution lies in building and operationalizing police stations – it is too expensive. Why can the Government not invest in surveillance cameras? Why did we invest billions in the Thika Highway and fail to invest a billion shillings in buying surveillance equipment that will solve the myriad of problems? Even yesterday people died in Mombasa.
