Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is really unfortunate because I feel that the Assistant Minister is not able to answer this Question as we would have expected. I am saying that because the matter she is referring to is a matter of judicial review that was filed by some of the officers because the State was taking too long.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to hear from the Assistant Minister whether he is aware of the dangers posed to pedestrians and other motorists by the boda boda riders.

So, I want to know whether he is making any arrangement to make it a condition that before the motor cycles carry people they have third party insurance covers.

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. On 23rd July, I sought a Ministerial Statement from the Office of the Prime Minster with regard to livestock migration from Isiolo to Igembe South Constituency and its effect and especially related to the destruction of crops. For the last three weeks, that Statement has not been issued. So I want to know when the PM will issue this Statement. Next Order!

Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Minister clarify whether in his view it is prudent to privatize these sugar companies at this time when most of them are running or operating at very serious deficits? If this is to happen, which specific sugar companies is he referring to?

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, last week I sought a Ministerial Statement from the Prime Minister. I was given an indication that the Statement would be made yesterday but unfortunately, it was not possible. When will the Ministerial Statement be issued because of the sensitivity of the matter? The Statement is with regard to the invasion of the Igembe people by communities from Isiolo. Even as we speak here today, Igembe has become a battle ground. My people are anxious to hear what the Prime Minister has to say.
