Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thank the Vice Chairperson for the extensive answer that she has given though most of it is noncommittal. They are playing around with words as they answer the questions in this House. The first clarification I want to seek is on compensation. I know very well that Lamu corridor has been compensated. Unfortunately, for Isiolo, it looks like the route is changing from one place to the other. Could she explain what is happening?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with all due respect to my colleague and Vice Chairperson of the Committee, it looks like she is running away from all the questions.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you are putting me in an awkward position. First, for the period that I have been in this House, the tradition has been that we do not generate statements as Chairpersons of Committees.
