Mr. Speakers, Sir, the answer the Assistant Minister has given is not very accurate. The construction of this water project was started in 1969 and completed in 1971. I wonder where the Assistant Minister got his answer from if he cannot get it correctly from his records. You can see very clearly that this water was meant to take care of about 100,000 people. The population has now risen to 190,000 people. For the last 38 years, the Ministry has used only Kshs10 million to refurbish the water supply line. Could the Assistant Minister tell me what tangible programme he ...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The supplementary question I asked the Assistant Minister is; where did the idea of Nyakach Water Supply Phase II disappear to? This is Phase I and Phase II was supposed to have followed almost immediately.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the idea of Nyakach Water Supply Phase II has been there for the last three or four years. I am shocked that the Assistant Minister continues to tell us here that they are still looking for a donor who will finance this project. Could he tell me when they will be able to source for these funds so that Phase II of the project can start in order for the people of Nyakach, whose population has gone up, can get clean drinking water?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, since 2008 my people have been killed. Almost every year, we lose lives at this border. I do not understand how the measures the Assistant Minister has talked about will prevent this kind of heinous act. Could he confirm that he is willing to put up a police post at this particular place with immediate effect, so that these kinds of killings are checked?

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Administration Police post that the Assistant Minister has said he put up at Onywongo Market is no longer there. Could he liaise with the District Commissioner of Nyakach to make sure that another Administration Police post is put up at that place where these deaths have been occurring?

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister keeps on repeating himself. Hon. Members of this House want him to table the details of people who are exporting these tusks. If he is not able to do so, will I be in order to request that this Question be deferred so that he gets proper information, so that he can satisfy this House?
