Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Just before we went on recess, you ruled that the Minister for Public Service would respond to the Petition I had submitted.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I was a member of the Committee and so, definitely, we discussed it at length. But I would like to agree with the Minister that as far as (c) is concerned, that we must correct the grammar so that we say “and submit”. So, that is the request as far as National Environmental Management Authority (NEMA) is concerned.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you very much. I really take this opportunity to thank the Minister, our Chairman, the Committee and all the staff that we worked with. It was a very big eye-opener for me, particularly, when I was given the opportunity to go round in one area--- That is because we sub-divided ourselves into various sub-committee. I was able to cover Eastern Province and Nakuru.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I must also thank Minister Orengo and our Committee for the period we spent in Mombasa, where we had various professionals, including representatives of the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), the Constitution Implementation Commission (CIC) and the Law Reform Commission (LRC). My exposition in terms of the land laws really made me understand land matters better. I thought I understood the laws relating to agriculture having served in the agriculture sector, but when I looked at the land laws, I was very impressed.

There has not been any acrimony. If debate in this House goes this way, we can create a harmonious country. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to follow up on this issue because we would like to hold some cultural promotion activities in our districts and constituencies. I would like to know how much money he has allocated for these kind of activities and how much he has given to districts where construction is not going on. We have several halls where cultural activities can be held. Could he tell us how much he has allocated to constituencies, so that we can promote culture irrespective of whether there are cultural buildings or not because there are several halls which ...

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to evade the question? He is referring me to the current Budget but my question was about how much money has been allocated to this area! Is he in order to evade my question?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issue of Economic Stimulus Programme is not unique to Ikutha. I would like the Assistant Minister to tell us what has happened to Ol Kalou Market where the contractor was awarded and then he disappeared; meaning that when he comes back, probably the value or project will go high. What action will he take to ensure that the projects under Economic Stimulus Programme, which include Ikutha and Ol Kalou Market, are completed and the public funds are not misused?
