Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true that the works have been procured. There is one contractor who is doing reconstruction. The name is Kip Kenya Construction and the contractor is supposed to be on site now. Actually, before I came to this Chamber, I confirmed that he is carrying out the works.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true that Kshs53 million was allocated to four districts but it is for small projects. Otherwise we have Kshs37.3 billion which is doing the same work of Baricho Water Works, Mzima Pipeline, Tiwi Boreholes and Malele Pipeline.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, no because that Question is different although I would remind him that there are some ASAL areas that are obviously the priority of our Ministry and I know he should be one of the people who should appreciate the work of my Ministry because his constituency has benefited a lot from my Ministry.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I cannot confirm that there is any skewed prioritization of projects in my Ministry because most of the projects that we do originate from the grassroots and there are people who propose them from those regions. In this particular case of Mombasa County, we have Kshs7.3 million on top of the Kshs53 million. So the funding is enough in that region as far as our Ministry is concerned.
