Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have heard the Assistant Minister say that the Government intends to open 600 dispensaries. He has also said; that the Government has a shortage of staff.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am really surprised because this Assistant Minister has answered this Question more than five times. Last year, newspaper reports had indicated that Kenya Roads Board had budgeted Kshs30 million to construct that road. What happened to that money? You went ahead and put it in the newspapers.
