Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Government is supposed to tell the truth, regardless of how hard it is to do so. We saw the vehicle. It is not a matter of reading in the Press about it or hearing it being mentioned on radio.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Minister say the truth? Was this vehicle involved? If it was involved, why did the Government get involved in the party's issue?

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the Assistant Minister for that answer. I would like to know whether the saving of Kshs1.3 billion is as a result of saving from fuel or sale of the vehicles.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, a total of 104 vehicles were recovered by end of October. I understand the process is still going on. Does the Assistant Minister anticipate more vehicles to be surrendered by the Ministries?

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, without the detailed benefit of the discussion that has gone forth, I think all of us are in agreement that we are living in increasingly transparent days. Witness protection is, therefore, becoming absolutely paramount. I want to congratulate the hon. Member for Kabete for looking at this matter. Even if the primacy of consideration is given to witness protection on matters to do with criminal law, I think we have to accept that what Ms. Karua is referring to as quasi-judicial proceedings is the matter that goes to the core of what Mr. Muite is ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is the same Ministry which is supposed to give planting seeds to farmers. The rains have started and the Minister has not told this House what he intends to do to give farmers some seeds.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am just a conduit as far as seeds are concerned. We will get funds and give them to the Ministry of Agriculture, which purchases the seeds and distributes them.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, HIV/AIDS was declared a national disaster in this country. We have heard the Assistant Minister say that he is depending on donor funds. The prevalence has gone down, because the CACCs in the constituencies have been receiving money. They went round creating awareness among the citizens. However, now, there is no money going to the constituencies. If this is a national disaster, when the Ministry got its allocation from the Minister for Finance, why did it not address the issue? How come he did not fight for the money?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister should answer "yes" or "no". Even if it was two minutes before the examination, it is still a leakage. We would like to November 1, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3293 know if there were students or any officers taken to court due to the alleged leakage of the examination.
